    Frank Herbert
    “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.”

    Charlotte Eriksson
    “Sweet girl, maybe close the world off and look at him for an hour
    or two.
    This is your fairy.
    It ain’t perfect and it ain’t honey sweet with roses on the bed.
    It’s real and raw and ugly at times. But this is your love.
    Don’t throw it away searching for someone else’s love. Don’t be greedy. Instead, shelter it. Protect it. Capture every second of easy, pull through every storm of hardship. And when you can, look at him, lying next to you, trusting you not to harm him. Trusting you not to go.
    Be someone’s someone for someone.
    Be that someone for him.”
    Charlotte Eriksson

It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
