Frank Herbert Quote
She rides the sandworm of space!She guides through all stormsInto the land of gentle winds.Though we sleep by the snake's den,She guards our dreaming sould.Shunning the desert heat,She hides us in a cool hollow.The gleaming of her white teethGuides us in the night. By the braids of her hairWe are lifted to heaven!Sweet fragrance, flower-scented,Surrounds us in her presence.

About Frank Herbert
Dune is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, and the series is a classic of the science-fiction genre. The Dune saga, set in the distant future and taking place over millennia, explores complex themes, such as the long-term survival of the human species, human evolution, planetary science and ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics, economics, sex, and power in a future where humanity has long since developed interstellar travel and colonized many thousands of worlds.
The series has been adapted numerous times, including the feature film Dune (1984), the miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune and Children of Dune, and a motion picture trilogy currently in production, with Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024) having been released.
