Dune Messiah (Dune, #2)

by Frank Herbert

“Ideas are most to be feared when they become actions,”

“I told him that to endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe.”

There was a man so wise, He jumped into A sandy place And burnt out both his eyes! And when he knew his eyes were gone, He offered no complaint. He summoned up a vision And made himself a saint. —CHILDREN’S VERSE FROM HISTORY OF MUAD’DIB
