Who has read the Litany Against Fear?
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.
Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear - From Frank Herbert's Dune Series
I was thinking about Dune and I remembered this. Good stuff, Dune.
To attempt an understanding of Fear without understanding its mortal enemy, the Beer, is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be. One must drink beer to find out how well fear fares.

Albeit a little inebriated version of me.

ReplyDeleteThose are all lines from Dune, you idiot. Including the first one - which originally says, "To attempt an understanding of Maud'Dib without understanding his mortal enemies, the Harkonnens, is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be."
ReplyDeleteBlah. The second of course is from Goats.
