pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"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 is 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, Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, Dune
Here's an interesting essay, "Kant and the Bene Gesserit Litany."
