Quotes
-
Lady Jessica Atreides : Concentrate on visualizing the flow of time. It must move, not you.
-
Leto : To know the future is to be trapped by it, Grandmother. My father knew it but he couldn't escape it. I want more freedom than that! A universe of surprises, that is what I pray for.
Lady Jessica Atreides : Is such a universe possible for someone like you?
Leto : Possible? Yes. But is it desireable? I have a difficult decision to make, Grandmother. Do I accpet the Atreides mystic, dress myself in our myths, live for my subjects and die for them? Or do I choose another path? A golden path? One that may change me, may change human destiny forever?
-
Lady Jessica Atreides : I don't understand.
Leto : No, I know you don't. Because you do not understand time.
Lady Jessica Atreides : I can help you, Leto.
Leto : Oh, on the contrary, Grandmother. It is I who will help you.

-
Alia : We will have a corner on the scarcest commodity in the universe!
Lady Jessica Atreides : You will have a corner in hell!
-
Lady Jessica Atreides : I could have killed you.
Farad'n Corrino : It wouldn't have been that easy.
[he slips away]
Farad'n Corrino : ...I didn't truly think it was possible, and then my mind melted away. I gave up fighting you, and it happened.
Lady Jessica Atreides : It wasn't me you were fighting.
Farad'n Corrino : It was myself. All that I've learned, all the nonsense I've imprisoned myself with - I feel... I feel like I'm being reborn, like I'm standing on the threshold of something extraordinary.
Lady Jessica Atreides : Para-Bindu balance, Farad'n. But only on the threshold.
Farad'n Corrino : [chuckles] Patience?
Lady Jessica Atreides : Yes, patience. Remember, it's one thing to gain control of your perceptions, quite another to gain control of your desires.
Farad'n Corrino : And if I succeed?
Lady Jessica Atreides : You'll find reality to be quite a bit different than you thought.
