“I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health."

And I think probably the most valuable president of this century was Richard Nixon. Because he taught us to distrust government and he did it by example.”
― Frank Herbert

“Men become friends when they can share their minds with one another. Anything is better than being lied to: a real friend will disagree with you openly.”

― Alice Lucy Trent, The Feminine Universe

“What you contemplate, you touch. What you enter into in imagination, you make yourself one with.”
