“Can you remember your first taste of spice?” “It tasted like cinnamon.” “But never twice the same,” he said. “It’s like life—it presents a different face each time you take it. Some hold that the spice produces a learned-flavor reaction. The body, learning a thing is good for it, interprets the flavor as pleasurable—slightly euphoric. And, like life, never to be truly synthesized.”

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

“What have we here—jinn or human?”

Frank Herbert

“Prophets have a way of dying by violence.”

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
