Argueably the greatest sci-fi novel of all time is Frank Herbert's Dune. For the 3rd or 4th time, I have lost count, they will attempt to make a movie or series that in some small way measures up to the novel. Here is the IMDB link to this latest attempt to be released later this coming fall:

And to show just how popular the novel is, someone has gone to the effort to list 100 of the best quotes from the book:

I especially like:
“You’ve heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There’s an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove the threat to his kind.” p. 9
“What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises—no matter the mood! Mood’s a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It’s not for fighting.” p. 35
"He who can destroy a thing has real control of it.” p. 446
“The test of a man isn’t what you think he’ll do. It’s what he actually does.” p. 451
