This one is the philosophical discussion book of the Dune series, some people love that some people don’t. I for one mostly like it, but Leto does piss me off at least 1/2 the time. I also just don’t get Hwi, like why pick marrying Leto and have sex with Duncan on the side? Make that make sense..? 

“If you finds truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes.”

“Words can carry any burden we wish.”

“Membership in a conspiracy, as in an army, frees people from the sense of personal responsibility.”

“The mind imposes this framework which it calls ‘reality.’ That arbitrary framework has a tendency to be quite independent of what your senses report.”

“How is it a god can do evil things?”
