You see the black expanse of space, the vast multitude of stars and 
nebulae greets your sight.  The translucent image of an attractive woman 
with short black hair and regal clothes becomes visible, though 
transparent and looking like a ghost against an endless tapestry. 
     Princess Akane Tendo stares out at you, with a slight smile on her 
face, and begins to speak in a clear, confident voice. 
     "The beginning, is a very delicate time.  Know then that it is the 
year 10,191 and 1/2.  The known universe is ruled by the Tendo- Shah 
Emperor Soun IV, my father.  In this time the most precious substance in 
the universe is the Nekohaten Ramen.  The Ramen extends life.  The Ramen 
expands consciousness.  The Ramen is vital to space travel.  The Spacing 
Guild and its Navigators, who the Ramen has mutated over 4,000 years, 
use the processed Ramen noodles which gives them the ability to fold 
space, that is, travel to any part of the universe without moving.
      Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the Ramen exists on only one planet 
in the entire universe.  A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts.  
Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the 
Amazons who have long held a prophecy, that a man would come, a husband, 
who would lead them to true freedom.  The planet is Arrakis, also known 
as Dune.

...and from the introduction to The Grace of Great Things:   
  "Creativity is dangerous.  We cannot open ourselves to 
   new insight without endangering the security of our 
   prior assumptions.  We cannot propose new ideas without 
   risking disapproval and rejection.  Creative 
   achievement is the boldest initiative of mind, an 
   adventure that takes its hero simultaneously to the rim 
   of knowledge and the limits of propriety.  Its pleasure 
   is not the comfort of the safe harbor, but the thrill 
   of the reaching sail."
