I think they're raping Dune for the fun of it, can't be they're in real need of cash anyway.

I say we kill them.
In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.

I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

Yes, I had. Insidious, isn't it? I fear we're witnessing the dumbing down of the original series.

I'm going to buy every new dune book and put them in a glass case, never to be read again.

They will be ostracized, torn apart from the rest... never to be savored, as an old friend, and never to be caressed by a trembling and expectant hand. They will be forgotten, not bygone books of a previous age, but unloved tomes that should never be opened... they cannot recieve the communion of our hands... they must instead be locked away, by rights only seen...
