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 me I will turn to see fear's path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

-- Litany against fear from the Bene Gesserit rite
