Fear

I’ve never read Frank Herbert’s novel Dune, but after seeing the following excerpt from the novel included on The Dish, Dune shot straight to the top of my Wish List.

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.

It’s funny how eight sentences can make someone want to read a whole book.
