I must 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 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

The above quote is from the Litany Against Fear, in Frank Herbert's Dune.
Judging from the hits on Google, the Litany Against Fear is also used by people on the net to control and/or manage fear.
Thus, the Litany of Fear has inspired many people who have suffered fear, including new mothers with post-partum depression, programmers, etc. who have posted the quote on their website.
Indeed, a website posted by a heavy drinker is called
What is the Fear?
