Sadece bedenleri, şekilleri, görüntüleri sevenlere ne yazık! Ölüm her şeyi yok edecek. Ruhları sevmeyi deneyin, onlara yeniden kavuşursunuz.
You see me, Father? I am a desert creature.
The hawks circled overhead screeching their frustration. They knew what was happening. Any desert creature would know.
And I am a desert creature, Kynes thought. You see me, Father? I am a desert creature.
He felt the bubble lift him, felt it break and the dust whirlpool engulf him, dragging him down into cool darkness. For a moment, the sensation of coolness and the moisture were blessed relief. Then, as his planet killed him, it occurred to Kynes that his father and all the other scientists were wrong, that the most persistent principles of the universe were accident and error.
Even the hawks could appreciate these facts.
The revelation shook him, and Jessica thought: If only he knew the tricks we use! She must’ve been good, that Bene Gesserit of the Missionaria Protectiva. These Fremen are beautifully prepared to believe in us.

She knew what it was—she had succumbed to that profound drive shared by all creatures who are faced with death—the drive to seek immortality through progeny. The fertility drive of the species had overpowered them.
—and it came to her that the use of time was turned around here: night was the day of activity and day was the time of rest.
Night conceals; night is safest.
God created Arrakis to train the faithful.
– from ‘The Wisdom of Muad’Dib’ by the Princess Irulan
‘Survival is the ability to swim in strange water.’
Mücadele edeceğim dedi. Ölene dek mücadele edeceğim. Ama artık karanlıkta, görünürde pırıltı olmaksızın, ışıksız ve yalnız rüzgâr ile yelkenin istikrarlı çekişiyle belki de çoktan öldüğünü duyumsadı. İki elini kavuşturup avuçlarını duyumsadı. Ölmemişlerdi; sadece açıp kapayarak bile hayatın acısını duyabiliyordu.
Ümit etmemek aptalca, diye düşündü. Üstelik bunun günah olduğuna inanıyorum.
“Ama insanoğlu yenilgi için yaratılmamıştır” dedi. “İnsan yok edilebilir ama yenilemez.”

Jessica felt her heart pounding. She forced herself to calmness, looked at the diminishing storm. Her time sense said they had ridden within that compounding of elemental forces almost four hours, but part of her mind computed the passage as a lifetime. She felt reborn.
It was like the litany, she thought. We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It’s gone, but we remain.
“Arrakis is a one-crop planet,” his father said. “One crop. It supports a ruling class that lives as ruling classes have lived in all times while, beneath them, a semihuman mass of semislaves exists on the leavings. It’s the masses and the leavings that occupy our attention. These are far more valuable than has ever been suspected.”
