I must not fear. Fear kills the mind.
Fear is the little death that brings total cancellation. I'll watch
face my fear.
will allow you to trample me and through me.
And when it's gone, I'll open my inner eye and scruterò path.
Where will the fear there will be nothing. Only I'll be there.
F. Herbert - Dune
Some dangers are so spectacular and located well beyond any normal experience, that the mind refuses to accept them as something real, and watch the approaching destruction without any fear. The man who provides the impetus of the tidal wave, the rush of the avalanche or tornado the tornado, and yet, not try to escape, is not necessarily paralyzed by fear or resigned to a fate inevitable. It may simply be unable to believe that what the eyes communicate to him personally.
AC Clarke - 2010 Odyssey two
The most dangerous person is one who is afraid of its shadow.
PKDick - Bob Arctor in A Scanner Darkly
Life is only as strong and nothing else, there is only that trip, and is strong.
so strong that leads to the tomb. For all and for all.
PKDick - Jim Barris in A Scanner Darkly
