I'm going to rub your faces in things you try to avoid. i don't find it strange that all you want to believe is only that which comforts you. how else do humans invent the traps which betray us into mediocrity? how else do we define cowardice?

More From Frank Herbert

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
Courage Hate Spring
I think artists are going to express things from an emotional point of view, that's their job, to suggest and interpret, and report what they witness. that's their job as artists, you're looking for the rub, where's the rub, you're a storyteller, you're looking for the rub, not necessarily the solutions, or you're not necessarily educated, you're not the winner of a debate contest, a national debate contest, you're not necessarily a person who has a doctorate in anything.

But why do you want to talk to me?' he is going to say: 'because you look so kind,' or 'because you look so beautiful and kind,' or, subtly, 'because you look as if you'll understand....' he says: 'because i think you won't betray me.' i had meant to get this mean to talk to me and tell me all about it, and then be so devastatingly english that perhaps i should manage to hurt him a little in return for all the many times i've been hurt.... 'because i think you won't betray me, because i think you won't betray me....' now it won't be so easy.

When you look into the faces of these quiet creatures who don't know how to tell stories--who are mute, who can't make themselves heard, who fade into the woodwork, who only think of the perfect answer after the fact, after they're back at home, who can never think of a story that anyone else will find interesting--is there not more depth and more meaning in them? you can see every letter of every untold story swimming on their faces, and all the signs of silence, dejection, and even defeat. you can even imagine your own face in those faces, can't you?

I think we all spend, sometimes, more time at our jobs than we do at home, and there are people that we wouldn't necessarily choose to spend so much time with. so those irritations and those, just those situations i think are really relatable.

Maybe it's just not the right time for us to be married. i don't want to be a bounty hunter for the rest of my life, but i certainly don't want to be a housewife right now. and i really don't want to be married to someone who gives me ultimatums. and maybe joe needs to examine what he wants from a wife. he was raised in a traditional italian household with a stay-at-home mother and domineering father. if he wants a wife who will fit into that mold, i'm not for him. i might be a stay-at-home mother someday, but i'll always be trying to fly off the garage roof. that's just who i am.
