There are six basic fears, with some combination of which every human suffers at one time or another . . .

The fear of poverty

The fear of criticism

The fear of ill health

The fear of loss of love of someone

The fear of old age

The fear of death

—NAPOLEON HILL, THINK AND GROW RICH

The subject of the “uncanny” . . . belongs to all that is terrible—to all that arouses dread and creeping horror . . . The German word [for “uncanny”], unheimlich, is obviously the opposite of heimlich . . . meaning “familiar,” “native,” “belonging to the home”; and we are tempted to conclude that what is “uncanny” is frightening precisely because it is not known and familiar . . . [But] among its different shades of meaning the word heimlich exhibits one which is identical with its opposite, unheimlich . . . on the one hand, it means that which is familiar and congenial, and on the other, that which is concealed and kept out of sight.

—SIGMUND FREUD, THE UNCANNY

The mask. Look at the mask!

Sand, crocodile, and fear above New York.
