I simply don't like the universe Dune presents. A universe with the choice between being ruled by either a brutal autocrat, a benevolent autocrat or a jihadist sect following some "messiah" is not really a universe I like to be read quotes from.

If you need a sci-fi-quote from me its the end of "Roadside Picnic": "HAPPINESS, FREE, FOR EVERYONE, AND LET NO ONE BE FORGOTTEN!"

Else I'd go for the end of "Shockwave Rider" too.

Oh well.. and then there was a machine storm and "Dune" describes a time of omnipotent nobles. So... they simply changed from being enslaved be machines owned by man to being enslaved by man with machines.

Sorry, Dune does not describe a future one wants to live in unless he's a male member of nobility. (Kinda like "before french revolution.")
