"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 my fear is gone I will turn and face fear's path, and only I will remain."
~ Frank Herbert. 'Dune'

Man, that ttly sounds like that zen book I bought some time ago, almost word for word O_O But that dude wrote that about every feeling))

[shaitanah]

No wonder))) Herbert's books are all scarily philosophic and he likes mixing various religious and philosophic stuff)))

Would that be okay if I friended you?

I'm commenting here because this quote is one of my all-timea favorites.
I even random;y quote is to random people)

I loved that scene and the concept.

I admit I've only read the first three books, but they had left a very long-lasting impression. The setting is very unusual. The Spice, sand, messiah...

Of course! *goes to friend back*
OH YES!!! I actually recite it to myself sometimes when I'm afraid of smth. Like planes. It helps. Then again, maybe it's just my strong faith in it. ;)))
I read the first 4 and a half books, I'd say. Admittedly, the series goes a bit downhill after the first trilogy. I did like the 4th book for all its insanity, but then it just became way too convoluted.

Same here) Herbert lost me with in his latest books( Happened to way too many good series, right? (

Is there some hope that you've read Zelazny?

/hopeful, because Corwin. I want to squeal over Corwin with someone nao

[shaitanah]

The ones written by his son are reportedly much worse))
I have, but not much. Only Lord of Light, Lord Demon and the ones he co-wrote with Sheckley. :) I keep planning to read more, though)
