Those are some great inspirations! I think everyone needs those reminders--that you can take it a little at a time, don't panic, you've got this, it's not a matter of inspiration or mood but steady work.

Ooh, Dune quote! Yeah, that's a great series for intense quotes. I like the Litany against Fear: "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."
