I saw a comment to a comic that sounded like a line from the Movie Dune,

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." - The Programmer's Mantra also found in WikiQuotes.

This could also be the Author's mantra

If we are going down the 'Dune' road of remembrance

“I must not fear (transition).
Fear (of transition) is the mind-killer.
Fear (of transition) is the little-death that brings (stagnation in the transgender ghetto).
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”

I challenge Wolfjess7 to work that into 'Schooltime for Death'

Yes you are correct it is from 'DUNE'

It is actually the 'Mentat Mantra'

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Saphoo that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

Piter de Vries (Twisted Mentat of House and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen)

As Portrayed By Brad Dourif in the 1988 film, and Jan Unger in the Mini Series in 2000 for the Sci-Fi channel, and of course Frank Herberts Book of 1965.


"REMEMBER, No matter where you go, There you are."
