These quotes about the unknown will may not vanish your fear but will definitely motivate you to overcome your failures and to overcome the fear of the unknown.
We can define unknown as not known or the thing which is unfamiliar. We all wanted to achieve big things in life, fulfill our dreams but our fear of failure and the fear of the unknown often stop us from going for it. We mostly imagine things in mind, overthink, create the worst scenarios in our mind without actually knowing the full truth. And that lack of knowledge of truth is the worst fear ever.
We hope these quotes about the unknown will motivate you to find the truth about the unknown and to face your fears.

― George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
“Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there’s a big disappointment, we don’t know if that’s the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don’t know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don’t know.”
― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

― Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War
“You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself — it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher’s ideals are.”
― Richard Feynman
“In a world of diminishing mystery, the unknown persists.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland
Fear Of The Unknown Quotes
“Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word ‘understanding.”
― Werner Karl Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science
“The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land, to add something to the extent and the solidity of our possessions. And even a cursory glance at the history of the biological sciences during the last quarter of a century is sufficient to justify the assertion, that the most potent instrument for the extension of the realm of natural knowledge which has come into men’s hands, since the publication of Newton’s ‘Principia’, is Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species.”
― Thomas Henry Huxley
“What you choose also chooses you.”
― Kamand Kojouri

― Laurell K. Hamilton, The Laughing Corpse
“One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.”
― Krishnamurti
“Remember that fear causes to happen the very things it fears. That’s why fear should be unknown to us.”
― Louis de Bernières
“How can you know what you’re capable of if you don’t embrace the unknown?”
― Esmeralda Santiago, Conquistadora
“Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Unknown Quotes About Being Yourself
“It is the unknown that excites the ardor of scholars, who, in the known alone, would shrivel up with boredom.”
― Wallace Stevens
“Since the dawn of existence, you mortals have feared dying, feared the unknown and the pain of it, and yet, pain is a part of life, not death. And I—I am the first moment after pain ceases,” he [Death] pronounced. “It is life that fights and struggles and rages; life, that tears at you in its last agonizing throes to hold on, even if but for one futile instant longer… Whereas I, I come softly when it is all done. Pain and death are an ordered sequence, not a parallel pair. So easy to confuse the correlations, not realizing that one does not bring the other.”
― Vera Nazarian, Cobweb Bride
“She was perfectly sane in streets unknown. She loved conversing with people tagged as strangers. She was social, amiable & all that is her. Yet, with known people she felt unknown, she choked words and fought inside. And indeed she tripped insane while traversing those streets known. She stared at others and consumed their happiness through senses cold. And so she waits for Winter’s warmth to touch her in streets of distant shore, in her own world of simple happiness.”
― Debatrayee Banerjee
“The dark dangerous forest is still there, my friends. Beyond the space of the astronauts and the astronomers, beyond the dark, tangled regions of Freudian and Jungian psychiatry, beyond the dubious psi-realms of Dr. Rhine, beyond the areas policed by the commissars and priests and motivations-research men, far, far beyond the mad, beat, half-hysterical laughter… the utterly unknown still is and the eerie and ghostly lurk, as much wrapped in mystery as ever.”
― Fritz Leiber
“Past and Present I know well; each is a friend and sometimes an enemy to me. But it is the quiet, beckoning Future, an absolute stranger, with whom I have fallen madly in love.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons: Quotes, Poetry, & a few Short Stories for Every Day of the Year
“Coincidences give you opportunities to look more deeply into your existence.”
― Doug Dillon
“I’m comfortable with the unknown — that’s the point of science. There are places out there, billions of places out there, that we know nothing about. And the fact that we know nothing about them excites me, and I want to go out and find out about them. And that’s what science is. So I think if you’re not comfortable with the unknown, then it’s difficult to be a scientist… I don’t need an answer. I don’t need answers to everything. I want to have answers to find.”
― Brian Cox
“With no expectations anything can become.”
― Steven Farmer

To check his courage and strength
When he hears her song
In his travels through the unknown.”

― Tim Cahill, Jaguars Ripped My Flesh
