There are so many amazing and thought-provoking quotes in the Dune novels. And there are probably some new ones in the movies too.

If you had to pick just one quote from the Dune universe, one that really made you think about life and our place in it, what would it be?

    Not as a quote, but as a line in the context of the book, “They tried to kill my son” repeated over and over was a great illustration of a rational, quite staid man fighting a building rage and becoming something different.

    It also served to humanise the Duke right before the tooth scene, building an empathetic connection to make us care about that scene more.

    A deceptively simple line used incredibly well.

    For pure quotage “It is by will alone I set my mind in motion”.
