There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors. - Frank Herbert, Dune

"A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both."

"There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors."

"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."

"When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late."

"Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and it has power,"Tuek said. "You might find the line between life and death among the Fremen to be too sharp and quick."
