Evo nekih iz Dine, tacnije sveta Dine, posto je ovo radio Frenkov sin u svom prequelu.
Bar sto se tice citata, nije los.
Discovery is a dangerous … but so is a life. A man unwilling to take risks is doomed never to learn, never to grow, never to live.

Before us, all methods of learning were tainted by instinct. Before us, instinct-ridden researchers possessed a limited attention span – often no longer than a single lifetime. Projects stretching across fifty or more generations never occurred to them. The concept of total muscle/nerve training had not entered their awareness. We learned how to learn.

‘Xuttuh’ is a word that means many things. Every Bene Tleilax knows it was the name of the first Master. But just as that man was more than a mere mortal , so there are depths and complexities in the appellation. Depending upon tone and vocal inflection, ‘Xuttuh’ can mean ‘hello’ or ‘blessing be upon you’. Or it can constitute a prayer encompassed in a single word, as devotee prepares to die for the Great Belief. For such reasons, we chosen this as a new name for the conquered planet formerly known as Ix.

- The Bene Gesserit Question Book
Religion is the emulation of the adult by the child. Religion is the encystment of past beliefs: mythology, which is guesswork, the hidden assumptions of trust in the universe, those pronouncements which men have made in a search of personal power … all mingled with shreds of enlightenment. And always the ultimate unspoken commandment is ‘Thou shall not question!’ But we do anyway. We break this commandment as a matter of course. The work to which we have set ourselves is the liberating of the imagination, the harnessing of imagination to humankind’s deepest sense of creativity.
- Credo of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood
Learn to recognize the future the way a Steersman identifies guiding stars and corrects the course of his vessel. Learn from the past; never use it as an anchor.

Thinking, and methods by which thoughts are communicated, inevitably create a system permeated by illusions.
