“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

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
Frank Herbert

“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
