“The old woman was a witch shadow—hair like matted spiderwebs, hooded ’round darkness of features, eyes like glittering jewels.”

Frank Herbert

“Can you remember your first taste of spice?” “It tasted like cinnamon.”

“What senses do we lack that we cannot see or hear another world all around us?”

Frank Herbert

“It should be one of the tests,” the old woman said. “Humans are almost always lonely.”

Frank Herbert

“The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows—a wall against the wind. This is the willow’s purpose.”

Frank Herbert

“Our civilization appears to’ve fallen so deeply into the habit of invasion that we cannot even obey a simple order of the Imperium without the old ways cropping up.”

Frank Herbert

“But it's well known that repression makes a religion flourish.”

Frank Herbert

“Most of the Houses have grown fat by taking few risks. One cannot truly blame them for this; one can only despise them.”

Frank Herbert

“How the mind gears itself for its environment, she thought. And she recalled a Bene Gesserit axiom: “The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off.

The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.”

Frank Herbert

“How do we approach the study of Muad’Dib’s father? A man of surpassing warmth and surprising coldness was the Duke Leto Atreides. Yet, many facts open the way to this Duke: his abiding love for his Bene Gesserit lady; the dreams he held for his son; the devotion with which men served him. You see him there—a man snared by Destiny, a lonely figure with his light dimmed behind the glory of his son. Still, one must ask: What is the son but an extension of the father?”

Frank Herbert

“Beginnings are such delicate times.”

Frank Herbert
