A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away…

To be scared is sensible, to be comfortable is suicidal.
