“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.

― Frank Herbert, Dune

“Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.”
― Oscar Wilde

“The most foolish of all errors is for clever young men to believe that they forfeit their originality in recognising a truth which has already been recognised by others.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maxims and Reflections
