"We have nothing to fear but fear itself" is the well-known phrase from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 inaugural address.
Sounds to me as if your quote is from someone who elaborated on that and came up with something rather-----
well, to be frank about it, nonsensical.
You can't really refuse to be afraid, while at the same time being afraid. You can of course fight fear and ultimately overcome it.
If your quote read, "The only thing to be afraid of is fear itself and I reject (or hate) fear itself so I refuse to be afraid....." that would at least be more logically consistent.
Do you see what I mean?

FDR made a statement similar to the one you have written.
It was something like, "All we have to fear is fear itself". That may not be exact but it much closer than yours.
