"I should really like to think there's something wrong with me — Because, if there isn't then there's something wrong, Or at least, very different from what it seemed to be, With the world itself — and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible." —T. S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

“Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What’s closer to nature’s heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can’t you see? It’s just the same with you — and just as vital to nature.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (7.18)

“Sometimes we don't know how we feel until we're at our worst; then it all becomes clear. You can rebel against what's pure, but then when you find yourself filthy you start to yearn for the thing you turned away from.”

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.
Frank Herbert, Dune

“Act like the person you are, not the way they make you act…. Noble people shouldn’t have even an atom of baseness. Nobility scorns villainy. You should be able to boast that if gallantry, generosity, and faith were lost in the world, they could be found again in your own breast.”
— Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom
