A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Maud'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Maud'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.

Additional quotes by Frank Herbert

"It's a beautiful morning, Sire," the guard said

"Yes, it is."

The Duke nodded, thinking: Perhaps this planet could grow on one. Perhaps it could ba a good home for my son.

Then he saw the human figures moving into the flower fields, sweeping with them strange scythe-like devices — dew gatherers. Water so precious here that even the dew must be collected.

And it could be a hideous place, the Duke thought.

We are plagued by a corrupt polity which promotes unlawful and/or immoral behaviour. Public interest has no practical significance in everyday behaviour among the ruling factions. The real problems of our world are not being confronted by those in power. In the guise of public service, they use whatever comes to hand for personal gain. They are insane with and for power.
