This is for my own reference, since fragments of the quote bounce around in my head from time to time, and I always wish I had the full quote committed to memory. Plus, I want it for contemplative reasons.

"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; also known as "The Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear."

This is an excellent excerpt, and very fitting for things on my mind this evening.

Need to talk about it? I can give you a call this weekend, if you like. I haven't gotten the chance to talk at you in a while, anyway. *hugs*

Cool! I was thinking about calling you this weekend, too. Today (Saturday) is the first day I've had completely off (without online tutoring or anything) in a long time. I'm not sure what to do with myself. :)

Beautiful quote. One to keep in mind. And I know I've heard it, yet I've never seen/read/whatever Dune. Hm.

I've never read/seen/whatever Dune, either, though something tells me I really should. It's one of those that has been on my "maybe" list for a long time, but I've never gotten up the ambition to read it.

Nevertheless, I do love that quote. ^_^

No prob, hon. *hugs* Hang in there.
