“Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.”
― Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

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

“It is difficult to live in the present, pointless to live in the future and impossible to live in the past.”
― Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”
― William Gibson, Neuromancer
