Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of
those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the
will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of
government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.

What do you despise? By this are you truly known.

Life is a process, not a principle, a mystery to be lived, not a problem to
be solved.

The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following:
Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a
rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when
swerving away from the rabbit hits a pedestrian.
-- Frank Herbert, "The White Plague"
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.

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

to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.
Frank Herbert, Dune, Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

Frank Herbert, Dune

within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do
survive.
