“There’s no mystery about a human life. It’s not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune

“Never have I thought so much, never have I realised my own existence so much, been so much alive, been so much myself ... as in those journeys which I have made alone and afoot. Walking has something in it which animates and heightens my ideas: I can scarcely think when I stay in one place ; my body must be set a-going if my mind is to work. The sight of the country, the succession of beautiful scenes ... releases my soul, gives me greater courage of thought, throws me as it were into the midst of the immensity of the objects of Nature ... my heart, surveying one object after another, unites itself, identifies itself with those in sympathy with it, surrounds itself with delightful images, intoxicates itself with emotions the most exquisite.”
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions

“You do not take from this universe, he thought. It grants what it will.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“Peace demands solutions, but we never reach living solutions; we only work toward them. A fixed solution is, by definition, a dead solution. The trouble with peace is that it tends to punish mistakes instead of rewarding brilliance. —”
― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune
