Frank Herbert
“What do you despise? By this are you truly known.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Frank Herbert
“Many have marked the speed with which Muad'Dib learned the necessities of Arrakis. The Bene Gesserit, of course, know the basis of this speed. For the others, we can say that Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

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

Frank Herbert
“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.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Gene Wolfe
“That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.”
Gene Wolfe, The Claw of the Conciliator
