Favorite Duniverse Quote

[Dante]

Why do people like that one? It's not exactly unique...

[Andrew]

The wishes were fishes, or whatever, is simple to remember. :)

Don't you wish that fish were wishes? Wouldnt you cast nets if they were? :P

[Dante]

Yes, but it's been done!

[Vanguard3000]

I like it because it's simple, yet pertinent.  It also casts a good bit of Caladan/water imagery for the novel, as opposed to the version "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

And for those who don't know the full rhyme... here.

Since I've just started reading Heretics, 2 quotes have really stood out so far:

'Never support the weak, always support the strong'

-- Bene Gesserit Coda

'Nothing is more complex than the human mind'

-- Leto II

Sorry if the quotes are a bit off, but you get the idea. ;D

[The Spac]

"There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man--with human flesh."

--from "Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

that would have to be one

and my quote, and the one where paul says I am here, I have only done as someone here would. or something like that.

[The Spac]

"There is no escape--we pay for the violence of our ancestors."

--from "The Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

Do you wrestle with dreams? Do you contend with shadows? Do you move in a kind of sleep? Time has slipped away. Your life is stolen. You tarried with trifles, Victim of your folly.

--Dirge for Jamis on the Funeral Plain, from "Songs of Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

This one I really like, I can't stand people who bitch and complain about the smallest things, and waste their life over them. My personal motto is Shut up and deal with it. Keeps myself from bitching about things I can't change. :)

'If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets' -Gurney Halleck

[Ninja_Sher]

"The power to destroy a substance is having control over it" - Muaddib

[exatreide]

think it was "he who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."

[Ninja_Sher]

think it was "he who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."

Yes that was it. It is hard to remember the quotes word by word.

The Litany Against Fear and TMA's sig from Leto II.

[Imperial Sardaukar]

"If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets."

and

"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 it's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

"World stays on four things: knowledge of the wise, justice of the great, prayers of the honorable and courage of the brave. However, this all is nothing without a ruler, skilled in the art of leadership." - Rafael Corrino

I think it was

What is it you despise? By this you are truly known.

I also like the one Caid mentioned:

Arrakis teaches philosophy of a knife; you cut off what isn't yet finished and say: 'Now it is finished, for it ends here'

There are more, let me think of them for a while.

I don't know why this one has stuck with me (from Messiah):

Here lies a toppled god--

His fall was not a small one.

We did but build his pedestal,

A narrow and tall one.

--Tleilaxu Epigram

[Tako]

Me, I like the Litany against fear.

After all, Fear is the mind-killer.
