“I will 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, “Litany Against Fear”

 

“I’m happy to die because I’ve lived my life without wasting even a minute of it doing things that wouldn’t have pleased God.” Blessed Carlo Acutis

“When our lives revolve around Christ we find order and harmony. And by implication, whenever something other than Christ – money, power, pleasure, honor – fills the center, the soul falls into disharmony. The well-ordered soul begins to wobble and go off-kilter.” Bishop Robert Barron
