Thoughts

Magnificent.

This book brought tears to my eye.

After watching the movies, I knew I had to read at least the first book. Within the first 10 pages, I received more clarification and depth to the movies. I felt immersed in their world, longing for my own place in Caladan or wishing I could experience the spice as the guild navigators do. I felt like I too, have a destiny, I too have expectations from my parents and I must navigate both to the best of my ability.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

― Frank Herbert, Dune
