"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear."

—-H.P. Lovecraft

Lovecraft always makes it sound pretty.

"Do one thing everyday that scares you."

—-Eleanor Roosevelt

"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.

—- Frank Herbert, Dune – Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

My favorite use of this quote was on the cartoon "Earthworm Jim" where our superhero Earthworm Jim is on a sled careening madly down a hill with his sidekick Peter Puppy behind him. Peter begins to quote the above as they hurdle towards their doom.
