"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
Frank Herbert, Dune (Dune, #1)

"Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they
shadows of things that May be, only?
Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered
in, they must lead . . . but if the courses be departed from, the ends
will change.
Say it is thus with me.
