Nutzlos / Useless Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Nutzlos / Useless:

I'm sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you're afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.

I just felt crushed and worthless.

Julian Barratt
