Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of the most powerful and popular science fiction novels ever written, casting a long shadow over the genre and featuring a number of adaptations, some of which are better than others. The new movie adaptation, directed by Denis Villeneuve, brings Herbert’s vision to the big-screen.

Though the movie’s appeal stems largely from its blockbuster aesthetic, it’s also full of powerful and charismatic characters, all of whom have their own motivations and most of whom deliver powerful quotes that make it clear just how much is at stake in the conflict between the rival noble houses of the Atreides and the Harkonnens.

10 “You’ve Proven You Can Rule Yourself. Now You Must Learn To Rule Others, Something None Of Your Ancestors Learnt.” – Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam

Reverend Gaius Helen Mohiam is one of the movie’s more intimidating characters, since she is not only a member of the powerful sorceresses known as the Bene Gesserit but also closely allied with the emperor. In this quote, she reveals just how much she understands not only about Paul and what he must do to survive in the deadly days ahead, but also how much she grasps the nature of power and how much relies on mastering the self rather than others.

9 “My Planet, Arrakis, Is So Beautiful When The Sun Is Low. Rolling Over The Sands, You Can See Spice In The Air.” – Chani

Chani, like most of the other Fremen, has a deep and powerful connection with the planet of Arrakis, a vast desert planet that is extremely unfriendly to outsiders. Her words reveal just how profound that connection is, and how much it is tied to the physical beauty of her planet. Where others see nothing more than sand and death, she sees a profound natural splendor that can only be revealed in the dying rays of the setting sun. Chani, it seems clear, will be one of Zendaya’s likable characters.

8 “This Is My Dune. Kill Them All.” – Baron Vladimir Harkonnen

There are few science fiction villains quite as compelling and darkly charismatic as the Baron, the head of House Harkonnen. Stellan Skarsgård imbues this character with a sinister grace, and this is a villain who has a way with words.

He knows how to use his words as effectively as physical weapons, and the power in this statement comes from its simple bluntness. He not only thinks he has a right to rule Dune (AKA Arrakis); he’s also ruthless and efficient in his desire to utterly obliterate the Atreides.

7 “The Duke’s Son, He Sees Too Much.” – Piter De Vries

As cunning as the Baron is, he is almost matched by his tame mentat, Piter De Vries, who has been twisted into a creature that is, in his own way, even more malicious than his master. Because he is a mentat, he’s able to see threats that might not be immediately obvious, and with this powerful statement, he demonstrates that he recognizes the profound threat that young Paul Atreides poses to the Baron’s efforts to destroy his family.

6 “We Are House Atreides. There Is No Call We Do Not Answer. There Is No Faith That We Betray. The Emperor Asks Us To Bring Peace To Arrakis. House Atreides Accepts!” – Duke Leto Atreides

Of all of the characters that appear in the movie, Duke Leto is arguably the most noble and the most ethical. He takes his duty very seriously, even when he recognizes that the gift of Arrakis is a poisoned one. Though he could easily use his ducal power to defy the emperor, he chooses not to, and his powerful words here demonstrate, with their blunt and eloquent simplicity, that more than anything else, Atreides sees itself as honorable in a way that other noble houses, including and especially the Harkonnens, are not.

5 “If Anything Happens, Will You Protect Our Son?” – Duke Leto Atreides

The bond between Lady Jessica and Duke Leto is one of the strongest in the movie, and it’s clear that the two of them love one another deeply, passionately, and perpetually. Their love for one another is only matched by their obvious love for their son Paul, whose life they are both bound to protect. Though Leto clearly trusts his wife, his quote here indicates that he needs that last little bit of assurance that, when all is said and done, that Jessica will stand by Paul.

4 “There’s Something Happening To Me. Something Waking Up In My Mind. I Can’t Control It.” – Paul Atreides

It’s pretty clear that Paul Atreides is fated to play a very important role in the universe, namely as the savior that the Bene Gesserit have sought to create with their breeding program. However, that role also comes with a terrible price, as this powerful quote demonstrates so effectively.

It suggests that the destiny that Paul possesses, hinging as it does on his psychic abilities, is almost like an alien presence inside of him, and that such an experience is not entirely pleasant.

3 “This Is An Extermination. They’re Picking My Family Off One By One.” – Paul Atreides

One of the most heartbreaking aspects of both the movie and the book is how effectively the Baron manages to bring about the destruction of House Atreides. It’s Paul’s blessing and curse that he’s able to see the full extent of the problem that they’re facing, and this quote captures that mixed feeling. It also shows just how panicked and horrified Paul is by the realization that, try as they might, they probably won’t be able to keep the Baron’s plan from succeeding.

2 “Let’s Fight Like Demons!” – Duncan Idaho

Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho is one of the most charismatic characters in the movie, and he is absolutely loyal to House Atreides. Right up until the end, he shows that he is willing and able to fight for the house to which he has sworn his loyalty, even if it means that his own life will be forfeit. His cry to fight like demons is a powerful reminder of just how formidable of a warrior he is and how much he’s willing to sacrifice. Dune is sure to be seen as one of Momoa’s best movies.

1 “Here I Am, Here I Remain.” – Duke Leto Atreides

Sometimes, the simplest quotes are the most powerful, and that holds true for much of what Duke Leto says. When he issues this line, he makes it clear that, no matter what is going to befall his house or the planet Arrakis, he is not going to sway from his appointed mission. He’s the type of man for whom duty is more important than anything else, and that includes his own life. He will stay true until his own life is over. Leto is definitely one of Oscar Isaac’s best roles.
