My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be.

Additional quotes by Frank Herbert

It's rooted in the fears to which all men are heir and, thus, deserves sympathy, not censure or laughter. The dream may be out of touch with history, but it's a good dream, and it doesn't appear to have been used to bilk gullible widows out of their savings. Never mind that we have a consistent record of slaughtering our messiahs. Look beyond the wacky arguments to the motivation — that sense of brotherhood which is all that has ever saved mankind from going over the brink.

Nie wolno się bać.
Strach zabija duszę.
Strach to mała śmierć, a wielkie unicestwienie.
Stawię mu czoło.
Niechaj przejdzie po mnie i przeze mnie.
A kiedy przejdzie, obrócę oko swej jaźni na jego drogę.
Którędy przeszedł strach, tam nie ma nic. Jestem tylko ja.
