Fear Quotes in Four

How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)

Quote #7

Watching someone else's fear simulation is strange. Intimate. I don't feel right about forcing other people to be vulnerable, even if I don't like them. Every human being is entitled to her secrets. (3.116)

This attitude toward looking at someone's private fears puts Four in opposition to Jeanine, who likes looking at people's fears.

Quote #8

"That isn't overcoming cowardice! Cowardice is how you decide to be in real life, and in real life, I am not getting pecked to death by crows, Four!" (4.137)

Tris makes a good point here. Are the fear simulations pointless? Can anyone really learn anything in virtual reality, or does it just cause virtual insanity?

Quote #9

"Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it, that's the point." (4.156)

If being fearless isn't the point, why is Four so revered for having so few fears?
