“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

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

“Comfort can be dangerous. Comfort provides a floor but also a ceiling.”
