Quote of the Day

Last year, I read the science fiction classic Dune. In Dune, the ancient order of women, known as the Bene Gesserit, practice the Litany Against Fear early in their training; a mantra they repeat to themselves in times of fear:

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.
