@Fury Got a favorite quote from the book? There’s so many. I think mine is:
“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.”
@mookie @Fury lol, many quotes. Some epic, some terrifying, some both...
“There’s a fabric of legends for you! Think of all those experiences, the wisdom they’d bring. But wisdom tempers love, doesn’t it? And it puts a new shape on hate. How can you tell what’s ruthless unless you’ve plumbed the depths of both cruelty and kindness? You should fear me, Mother. I am the Kwisatz Haderach.”
“One of the most terrible moments in a boy’s life,” Paul said, “is when he discovers his father and mother are human beings who share a love that he can never quite taste. It’s a loss, an awakening to the fact that the world is there and here and we are in it alone. The moment carries its own truth; you can’t evade it. I heard my father when he spoke of my mother. She’s not the betrayer, Gurney.”
"Through it all threaded the realization that her son was the Kwisatz Haderach, the one who could be many places at once. He was the fact out of the Bene Gesserit dream. And the fact gave her no peace."
I haven't read the book in a long long time. I read it when I was about 14, about 4 decades ago. So it is not very fresh at all! These quotes make me want to re-read it. @mookie
My high school English teacher was a huge fan of the book and encouraged all of us to read it. I didn’t heed his advice until 25 years later. lol. I’m glad I did though. I love the series and how bizarre it gets.
