i love dune. here's some quotes:

“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”

“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.”

“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”

“Hope clouds observation.”

“Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality.”

“The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.”

“Try looking into that place where you dare not look! You'll find me there, staring out at you!”

“The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.”

“Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.”

“Survival is the ability to swim in strange water.”

“The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows - a wall against the wind.”

“Proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known.”

“There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times to develop psychic muscles.”

“My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be.”

“We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.”

“It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.”

“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”

“Full moon calls thee--
Shai-hulud shall thou see;
Red the night, dusky sky,
Bloody death didst thou die.
We pray to a moon: she is round--
Luck with us will then abound,
What we seek for shall be found
In the land of solid ground.”

“If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.”

“Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work.”

“It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.”

“The night is a tunnel, she thought, a hole into tomorrow...”

ok i'll stop there...too many good ones...
