― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“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

“What a profound thing literature is! It strengthens men's hearts, educates their minds, and does all sorts of things, ... Literature is a picture, that is, in a sense, it is both a picture and a mirror; it is passion, it is expression, it is ever so clever criticism, it is an edifying lesson, and it is also a document.”
― Fydor Dostoevsky
