littlewashuGod Emperor of Dune, p. 407:
"Love of my soul, I have captured another of your secrets."
"Release it from your lips," he said, joking in this new intimacy between them.

"Between the superhuman and the inhuman," he said, "I have had little space in which to be human. I thank you, gentle and lovely Hwi, for this little space."
...
