I really hated the "Children of Dune" TV movie, but I was highly amused by this quote.

"What is your name?"

"They tell me it is Duncan Idaho."

"Do you enjoy the name?"

"It stirs up...curious feelings."

Brad Dourif as Piter De Vries in the David Lynch movie:

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion..."
*drink*
"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

And of course, Paul Atreides in the book...:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
