Quotes 

• Paul : Fear is the mind killer. I will face my fear and it will pass through me and when it is gone there will be nothing only I will remain.

• Otheym : Mah'Di! You are the voice from the outer world! You are the prophet sent to us by Shai Hulud! You must take your place, Muad Dib. We've waited long enough. You must do it now!

  Paul Atreides : Do you live for the good of the tribe, Stilgar?

  Stilgar : There is no other way.

  Paul Atreides : And for the good of the tribe would you stand there & let me drive this blade into your heart?

  Fremen : It is the way! Call him out!

  Otheym : It is the way, Muad Dib!

  Paul Atreides : Ways change!

  [Paul throws the knife to the ground at Otheym's feet] 

  Otheym : [looking up angrily]  Hard tasks need hard ways. You must become our Naibe so you can lead us against the Harkonnen!

  Paul Atreides : And would you smash your knife before starting that war? Would you cut off your right arm and leave it bloody on the floor?

  Paul Atreides : Do you think the Mah'Di is that stupid? There isn't a man among you who could stand against me in single combat, Stilgar included. Must I prove it by calling out the Naibe of every Sietch on the planet? Must I cripple myself by killing our strongest & wisest leaders, just for the sake of some mindless ritual? You say I am the Mah'Di...

  [Paul puts on his father's ring] 

  Paul Atreides : I say I am your Duke! And it's time now to wipe Arrakkis clean of the awful Harkonnen stench! Time to drive their name into the depths of Hell so that we may reclaim the planet and create a paradise together!

  Chani : As Liet taught us.

  Stilgar/ Fremen : As Liet taught us.

  Otheym : Long live the Duke! Long live Duke Paul Muad Dib!

• [Repeated line, a prelude to duelling] 

  Paul Atreides : May your knife chip and shatter.

• Paul Atreides : You are a desert power, and nothing can stop you.

• Fremen : You will never rid this planet of the Harkonnens with guerilla raids, boy.

  Paul : That is why I am asking you for a hundred of your young men. I wish to teach them the weirding way. So those hundred can come back to you and teach hundreds more. And those hundreds will teach hundreds more. Hundreds will become thousands. The Fedaykin. A force to rival the Emperor's Sardaukar. A force that will make the Emperor himself afraid. My father once told me here on Arrakis you need desert power to rule. You are desert power and nothing can stop you.

• Chani : Will we ever have peace, Maud'Dib?

  Paul Atreides : We'll have victory.

• Paul Atreides : I am the whirlwind.

• Paul Atreides : You say I am the mahdi. I say I am your Duke! And it's time now to wipe Arrakkis clean of the awful Harkonnen stench! Time to drive their name into the depths of Hell so that we may reclaim the planet and create a paradise together!

  [long silence, confusion] 

  Chani : As Liet taught us.

  Crowd : As Liet taught us.
