    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.”
    ― Frank Herbert, Dune

    "Him?"
    "Not me," said Skulduggery. "Her."
    "Me," said Stephanie.
    "You?" said the traffic warden.
    "Yes," said Stephanie.
    "I'm sorry, who are you?"
    Stephanie looked at him. "I'm Her, he's Me. Got it?”

    Isaac Asimov
    “Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.”
    ― Isaac Asimov, Roving Mind
