Fear Quote by Mariko Tamaki

“For the longest time I was only afraid of two things... The possibility that something bad would happen to someone I love. Which, when you're a super hero, is both infinitely possible... and seemingly impossible. I put my fears in a small drawer in my heart and tried not to think about them.” quote by Mariko Tamaki — Download Open image
