The singular multiplicity of this universe draws my deepest attention. It is a thing of ultimate beauty. Leto II

Life cannot find reasons to sustain it, cannot be a source of decent natural regard, unless each of us resolves to breathe such qualities into it.

He who controls the spice controls the universe.

Humans live best when each has his place, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things. Destroy the place and destroy the person.

Grief is the price of victory.

The person who takes the banal and ordinary and illuminates it in a new way can terrify. We do not want our ideas changed.

To endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe. You cannot hire a wise man or any other intellect to solve it for you. There's no writ of inquest or calling of witness to provide answers.
