“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

“Whence all this passion toward conformity anyway? - diversity is the word. Let man keep his many parts and you'll have no tyrant states.”
― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

“God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus! —
Why look'st thou so?' — With my cross-bow
I shot the Albatross.”
― Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
