“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

“लज्जा ने सदैव वीरों को परास्त किया है। जो काल से भी नहीं डरते, वे भी लज्जा के सामने खड़े होने की हिम्मत नहीं करते। आग में झुंक जाना, तलवार के सामने खड़े हो जाना, इसकी अपेक्षा कहीं सहज है। लाज की रक्षा ही के लिए बड़े-बडे राज्य मिट गए हैं, रक्त की नदियां बह गई हैं, प्राणों की होली खेल डाली गई है।”
