Lady Jessica Atreides : Did you have to go that far?
Gaius Helen Mohiam : You chose to train him in the Way, in defiance of our rule. He wields our power. He had to be tested to the limits. So much potential, wasted in a male. You were told to bear only daughters. But you, in your pride, thought you could produce the Kwisatz Haderach.
Lady Jessica Atreides : Was I wrong?
Gaius Helen Mohiam : You're lucky he didn't die in that room. If he is The One, he has a long way to go. His Sight is barely awakened, and now he goes into the fire. But our plans are measured in centuries. We have other prospects if he fails his promise.
Lady Jessica Atreides : Do you see so little hope?
Gaius Helen Mohiam : On Arrakis, we have done all we can for you. A path has been laid. Let's hope he doesn't squander it.

Gaius Helen Mohiam : One day, a legend will be born. All of civilization depends on it.

Gaius Helen Mohiam : Like sifting sand through a screen, we sift people. If you had been unable to control your impulses like an animal, we could not have let you live. You inherit too much power.
Paul Atreides : What, because I'm a Duke's son?
Gaius Helen Mohiam : Because you are Jessica's son. You have more than one birthright, boy.
-
Gaius Helen Mohiam : Defiance in the eyes, like his father.
