"Fear only fear itself"
Nicely elaborated on, by your quote of Herbert, Blonde:
"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, "Litany Against Fear", 1965

Growing up in an abusive home, I learned how to deal with fear.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me

I didn't particularly enjoy the sequels, though. -
