Quotes
-
Ghanima : History is written on the sands of Arrakis. A chapter has ended, swept away by the whirlwind. One door has closed, but another has opened. And on the other side... our future...
-
Ghanima : He runs and runs and runs. And when he's exhausted himself, he returns to me, puts his head in my lap and asks me to help him find a way to die.
Farad'n Corrino : But why does he want to die?
Ghanima : To save himself from the sacrifices he must make, sacrifices for the future of us all
Farad'n Corrino : Then there is a place for me in this future?
Ghanima : Your blood was spared the day Leto came back to me.
Farad'n Corrino : What of our marriage then?
Ghanima : [Ghani turns around] As my mother was not wife, you shall never be husband.
Farad'n Corrino : Politics.
Ghanima : Politics. But in time, there my be love, which is more then my brother will have.
[Ghani looks out into the desert]
Ghanima : One of us had to accept the agony. He was always the stronger. History is written on the sands of Arrakis. A chapter has ended, swept away by the whirlwind. One door has closed but another has opened and on the other side... our future.
-
Irulan : [obviously afraid as her stepchildren fly her near three large sandworms] Perhaps a slightly higher altitude would be advisable, Leto.
Leto : Do you know, my father used to love being this close to the ground when he flew?
Irulan : And you, of course, know this intuitively, don't you? Just like how you knew to fly it without any training.
Leto : Don't forget your Bene Gesserit training, step-mother. Fear is the mind killer.
Ghanima : I'm afraid she's about to let it pass through her.
-
Alia : I heard about your little stunt in the desert.
Leto : Well, I prefer to think of it as expert flying but carry on...
Alia : With your encouragement of course!
Ghanima : Our Father's memories were very instructive.
Alia : Well, I suppose I should be grateful I don't have to tell your grandmother you were lost to a worm before she was supposed to see you.
Ghanima : That would have been an unpleasant task, wouldn't it?
-
Irulan : Must you insist on sneaking away like this?
Ghanima : I still feel him
[Leto]
Ghanima : , Irulan, his presence; sometimes I even think I can hear his laughter in the wind.
Irulan : Mocking your decision to marry Farad'n I hope?
Ghanima : Why should he mock it?
Irulan : I cannot stand by and let you be used as a pawn in Alia's schemes.
Ghanima : Is that what you think? That I'm being used? That I've agreed to this marriage as part of some conspiracy with Alia?
Irulan : No, but I know you Ghani, there is more to your decision than anyone else believes.
Ghanima : Alia wants my grandmother back, Farad'n is simply the means.
Irulan : But what do you want?
Ghanima : Farad'n's blood on the wedding sheets, not mine.
