Top Ten Tuesday: Inspiring Quotes From Books

Here's a dose of inspiration for your Tuesday!

1. "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

2. "Don't Panic." -Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

3. "Answer.

That you are here— that life exists and identity,

That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse." -Walt Whitman, Oh me! Oh life!

4. "Not all those who wander are lost." -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

6. "We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die.

But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail." -John Green, Looking for Alaska

I am the captain of my soul." -William Ernest Henley, Invictus
