81 " Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be started this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck. "
― Frank Herbert , Chapterhouse: Dune (Dune, #6)
82 " Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary. "
83 " Storms beget storms. Rage begets rage. Revenge begets revenge. Wars beget wars. "
84 " Humans can balance on strange surfaces," Odrade said. "Even on unpredictable ones. It's called 'getting in tune.' Great musicians know it. Surfers I watched when I was a child on Gammu, they knew it. Some waves throw you but you're prepared for that. You climb back up and go at it once more. "
85 " Souvenirs of memory must be only that. Things to be taken up and fondled occasionally for evocation of past joys. No joy can be permanent. All is transient. "This, too, shall pass away" applies to all of our living universe. "
86 " Uproot your questions from the their ground and the dangling roots will be seen. More questions! "
87 " Tarihçeler çatışmalara odaklanır. Söylediklerinde doğruluk payı vardır ama kargaşalara rağmen devam eden daha kalıcı şeylerin üstünü örterler.""Kalıcı şeyler mi?""Pirinç tarlasını mandasıyla süren kadından ve uzaklara gitmiş, muhtemelen askere alınmış, silah taşıyan kocasından hangi tarih kitabı bahseder?""Bu niye daha önemli ve kalıcı...""Kadının evindeki bebeklerin yiyeceğe ihtiyacı vardır. Ama erkek yıllar sürecek bir savaşa gitmiştir. Birinin tarlayı sürmesi gerekir. O kadın insanın azminin gerçek bir sembolüdür. "
88 " I remember no moment when I awakened and said: "I love him!" No, it had wormed its way into this deeper and deeper addiction until, accomplished fact, it must be accepted in every living moment. Like breathing…or heartbeats. "
89 " Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary. "
90 " The tyranny of the minority cloaked in the mask of the majority,” Odrade called it, her voice exultant. “Downfall of democracy. Either overthrown by its own excesses or eaten away by bureaucracy. "
91 " Spend energies on those who make you strong. Energy spent on weaklings drags you to doom. "
92 " Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that might lift them out of resentment-filled illusions of security. "
93 " It is naive to expect any bureaucracy to take brilliant innovations and put them to good use. Bureaucracies ask different questions. "
94 " Many histories are largely worthless because prejudiced, written to please one powerful group or another. "
95 " Show me a completely smooth operation and I’ll show you someone who’s covering mistakes. Real boats rock. "
96 " The censure of your peers? But what if your peers balked at no obscenity? You could do anything. "
97 " Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. "
98 " Have they taught you about democracy?” “Yes, sir. That’s where you vote for—” “That’s where you distrust anyone with power over you! "
99 " Siyaset: Olabildiğince çok şeyi gizlerken tamamen açık ve içten gibi görünme sanatı. "
100 " Demokrasilerde seçmenler günah keçilerinin sergilenmesi suretiyle yönlendirilebilir. Kahrolsun zenginler, açgözlüler, suçlular, aptal liderler vs. "
