“What wisdom do you want from a death-marked girl? I can say only this: In the end I learned that the water was in me. It was a ghost that could not be exorcised.

Before the ocean is friend or foe, it simply is. And so are you.

The capital-"T" Truth is about life before death. It's about simple awareness — awareness of what is so real and essential, and so hidden in plain sight all around us (like water for fish), that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over again: “This is water... This is water.”

She hated the water then, inspired by the worm's fear. Water, once the spirit-soul of Arrakis, had become a poison. Water brought pestilence. Only the desert was clean.”
