Explanation:

1. The first quotation "If your fear becomes a wordless darkness you avoid... you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you" emphasizes the importance of naming and facing fears, which matches "You must name the things that frighten you".
2. The second quotation "Reason is excellent for getting food, clothing and shelter.... But be excessively reasonable and you risk throwing out the universe with the bathwater" implies that relying solely on logic (reason) has limitations, aligning with "Some things cannot be understood through logic alone".
3. The third quotation "Isn't telling about something—using words, English or Japanese—already an invention? Isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?" suggests that our descriptions and perceptions (observations) shape our understanding of reality, corresponding to "Our observations shape reality".

Answer:

1. You must name the things that frighten you.
2. Some things cannot be understood through logic alone.
3. Our observations shape reality.
