“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

“How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?”
― Anais Nin

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
― May Sarton

“Better to be strong than pretty and useless.”
― Lilith Saintcrow, Strange Angels
