“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

“So read the books they're banning, that's where the good stuff is! If they don't want you to read it, there's a reason why.”
― LeVar Burton

“God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus! —
Why look'st thou so?' — With my cross-bow
I shot the Albatross.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
