Bene gesseri sayings

Here are a few Bene Gesserit sayings from the "Dune" series by Frank Herbert:

1. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration."

2. "The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."

3. "Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."

4. "The beginning is a very delicate time."

5. "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it."

6. "Plans within plans within plans."

7. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."

8. "The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires."

9. "The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end."

10. "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."
