“….When "thinking machines" had been wiped from most of the universe, computers had inspired distrust. Old emotions colored the human computer as well”

“As with all things sacred, it gives with one hand and takes with the other. It extends life and allows the adept to foresee his future, but it ties him to a cruel addiction and marks his eyes as yours are marked: total blue without any white. Your eyes, your organs of sight, become one thing without contrast, a single view.”

“my coffee a wine-dark happiness”

“Having a companion fixes you in time and that the present, but when the quality of aloneness settles down, past, present, and future all flow together. A memory, a present event, and a forecast all equally present.”

“If you are a Christian, the most important thing about you is your depth of conviction and breadth of understanding when you say, God is my heavenly Father. And if this is true for every believer, Jesus will say it is especially true for those who are anxious.”

The more I read the more I feel the war chants from the third trailer coursing through my veins

And Gurney recalled the stories told of Muad Dib, the Lisan al-Gaib—how he had taken the skin of a Harkonnen officer to make his drumheads, how he was surrounded by death commandos, Fedaykin who leaped into battle with their death chants on their lips.

There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves.

“Driving, I have written long, detailed letters never to be put to paper, much less sent.…
I have projected future scenes, just as complete and convincing—scenes that will never take place. I've written short stories in my mind, chuckling at my own humor, saddened or stimulated by structure or content.”

“It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, becomes your guide. You may be more prosperous and successful from the world's perspective, and will have more leisure time, if you never acknowledge the call of God.”

The love of God pays no attention to my prejudices caused by my natural individuality. If I love my Lord, I have no business being guided by natural emotions - We will not be delivered or released from His commission to us. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by following your own natural human emotions, sympathies, or understandings. That will only serve to revile and abuse the true love of God

“If you are in love with someone, you don't sit and daydream about that person all the time-you go and do something for him. That is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Daydreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.”
