Madness in method, that's genius - Frank Herbert

Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

Power bases are very dangerous because they attract people who are truly insane, people who seek power only for the sake of power.

When we try to conceal our innermost drives, the entire being screams betrayal.
