My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. "Something cannot emerge from nothing," he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable "the truth" can be.
from Conversations with Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
You cannot go on forever stealing what you need without regard for those who come after. The physical qualities of a planet are written into its economic and political record. We have the record in front of us and our course is clear.
Pardot Kynes
There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace - those qualities you find always in that which the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet, it is possible to see peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains it own fixity. In such perfection, all things move toward death.
from Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan
Life — all life — is in the service of life
Pardot Kynes in "Appendix I: The Ecology of Dune"
Riots and comedy are but symptoms of the times, profoundly revealing. They betray the psychological tone, the deep uncertainties... And the striving for something better, plus the fear that nothing would come of it all.

Beautiful film. True to the novel in very intelligent ways. Where the novel's narrative presents preponderances of ponder, the movie leaves silence while the camera is pans the desert. I was surprised that this movie only covers the first half of the first book but I ended up appreciating the choice. The writers have wisely stripped the plot down to its essence and then lets the story elements unfold slowly- very true to the book's pacing. The tech is beautiful, the worms are epic. The battle scenes are wisely much more fleshed out than the novel- giving action fans more to enjoy.
Big thumbs up- far exceeds expectations.
