“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

“Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
