Here are some memorable quotes from Dune by Frank Herbert, a masterpiece of science fiction known for its philosophical depth and exploration of power, fear, and human nature:
On Fear:
- "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."
On Power and Leadership:
- "The person who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."
- "To rule is to make compromises. Yet compromises do not make a ruler."
- "A ruler needs to control but must also be controlled."
On Survival and Change:
- "The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."
- "A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct."
- "Survival is the ability to swim in strange water."
On Human Nature:
- "He who controls the spice controls the universe."
- "The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown."
On Destiny and Choice:
- "A man’s flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe."
- "The sleeper must awaken."
