The Great Dune Trilogy

by Frank Herbert

“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 me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
