Dune (Frank Herbert):

There exists no separation between gods and men; one blends softly casual into the other. ~Maud'dib

Atrocity is recognized as such by victim and perpetrator alike, by all who learn about it at whatever remove. Atrocity has no excuses, no mitigating argument.

Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred. ~The Apocrypha of Muad'Dib

Truth suffers from too much analysis. Ancient Fremen Saying

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me.

No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individuals. From The Tleilaxu Godbuk

Every civilization must contend with an unconscious force which can block, betray, or countermand almost any conscious intention of the collectivity. ~Tleilaxu Theorum (Unproven)

There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin. The law cannot be a tool of vengeance, never a hostage, nor a fortification against the martyrs it has created. You cannot threaten any individual and escape the consequences. ~The Stilgar Commentary

Knowledge is just opinion that you trust enough to act upon. ~Miro

...But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart ~Speaker for the Dead

We may be young, but we're not powerless. We play by their rules long enough and it becomes our game. ~Valentine

Right and wrong are not what separate us from our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side, just two sides holding different views. ~Squall Leonheart

Overspecialization leads to death. ~Motoko

I am a life form born in a sea of information ~The Puppet Master

A copy is just an identical image. There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems and copies do not give rise to variety and originality. Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information, only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system. ~The Puppet Master

I only carry this sword to protect the ones I care about. ~Kenshin Himura
