“My grandmother caught me in an embrace, crouched next to me, and pointed to the deck where my shadow stretched as though it belonged to a giant. ‘Fear,’ she said, ‘is like that - out of proportion depending on the angle of light. What is meant to happen, will happen.’”
~Ursula Hegi, Salt Dancers
“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
“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”
~Marie Curie
