Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly. 01/17/08 :: Quote :: Gurney HalleckI'm the well-trained fruit tree. Full of well-trained feelings and abilities and all of them grafted onto me--all bearing for someone else to pick. 01/17/08 :: Quote :: "Muad'Dib: Family Commentaries" by the Princess Irulan"Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain." 05/21/06 :: Thing :: Dune :: Classic sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert, 196507/24/05 :: Quote :: Gaius Helen MohiamYou've heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap?

But all of these are as nothing ... without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that the science of your tradition! 07/24/05 :: Quote :: Paul AtreidesA process cannot be understood by stopping it.

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 and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.  06/22/05 :: Folder :: Existence |
