How do you cope with fear?
-
On the subject of having courage in the face of danger, I always found this quotation from the great writer Frank Herbert to be of great value: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total oblivion. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me and turn my inner eye to follow its path. When the fear is gone, only I will remain. --The Litany Against Fear (Frank Herbert, -Dune-, 1965) Any other suggestions from our great collection of coders?

A shrink once told me this acronym, and it's fairly common actually: FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real And that about sums it up. Marc

I'm not sure you can call it a quote, it was the mind settling chant of the benne gesserit (spelling has got to be off, I have not read a dune book for ages) and part of the books.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

You know, you are probably right. It may not be verbatim from the book. I actually saw this quoted several decades ago posted as a quote from the book and it prompted me to read the book - three times! I could never actually find the quote in the book, but that did not diminish the intense pleasure of staring into the great mind of Herbert at work. If only I had that man's imagination and writing skills. Aaah well, the neurons are getting rusty. Maybe I can shake them loose by banging my head a few times. Of course it will help a lot if I could first lubricate them with some of Nagy's g&t. Got a bottle to spare an old man, Nagy?

As she runs, Arya thinks of everything Syrio has told her: “Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water.
Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine.Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords…” -
Loosely paraphrased from the original quotation?: Kill them all, God will recognize his own. --Amalric Arnaud, during the seige of Be'ziers (1209 AD), addressing soldiers who asked him how to tell the difference between the heretics and the orthodox Catholics.
Probably. I just responded with the only version I've heard. :)

TE Lawrence, from the Film. TE: "Then you will be a theif as well as a murderer. Sharif: "Have you no fear?" TE: "Ones fears are a mans own concern" Sharif: "Truly." But yeah, nice Herbet quote. I always liked the quote "Without change the mind sleeps" fron Dune.
