This is the awe-inspiring universe of magic: There are no atoms, only waves and motions all around. Here, you discard all belief in barriers to understanding. You put aside understanding itself. This universe cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be detected in any way by fixed perceptions. It is the ultimate void where no preordained screens occur upon which forms may be projected. You have only one awareness hereโthe screen of the magi: Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and systems, an organizer of chaos.
Frank HerbertThere is only one true wealth in all the universe. I have given you some of it. I have given your father and your mate some of it. And your friends. This wealth is living time.
Frank HerbertThere has never been a truly selfless rebel, just hypocritesโconscious hypocrites or unconscious hypocrites, itโs all the same.
Frank Herbert... motivating people, forcing them to your will, gives you a cynical attitude toward humanity. It degrades everything it touches.
