“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 creature goes on four feet in the morning, on two at noonday, on three in the evening?

Man. In childhood he creeps on hands and feet; in manhood he walks erect; in old age he helps himself with a staff.”
― Oedipus
