"... the highest passion in a [hu]man is faith, and here no generation begins at any other point than did the preceding generation, every generation begins all over again..." "There are perhaps many in every generation who do not even reach it, but no one gets further." "'One must go further, one must go further.'" from "Fear and Trembling" by Søren Kierkegaard

Fear and Death
“I shall not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death That brings obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me And through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fears path. Where the fear had gone There will be nothing. Only I will remain.” from Dune by Frank Herbert
RESPECT
“The most important tool is respect…
And the reason I know respect is a tool is because it is clearly not a natural thing and we forget to use it all the time. And then we start competing with each other, exploiting each other, humiliating each other and controlling each other. And we lose each other.
And without each other, we’ll go extinct.”
-Jeff Winger (Community: Anthropology 101)
“Uh, we learned that working together is better. Heh, whatever.”
-Finn and Jake (Adventure Time: Dungeon)
