“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

“Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible.”
Frank Herbert

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