Marilyn French : loneliness and fear

Somebody showed me a quote by Marilyn French in a Norwegian newspaper:
"Ensomhet er ikke en lengsel etter selskap, men etter beslektede sjeler."

When I looked it up in English it was "Loneliness is not a longing for company; it is a longing for kind."

Reading through a list of her quotes, I didn't feel close to most of them.

I did found this quote intriguing:

"Fear is a question. What are you afraid of and why? Our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them."
