Frank Herbert
“No legal system can maintain justice unless every participant — magisters, prosecutors, Legums, defendants, witnesses, all — risks life itself in whatever dispute comes before the bar. Everything must be risked in the Courtarena. If any element remains outside the contest and without personal risk, justice inevitably fails.
— Gowachin Law”
Frank Herbert, The Dosadi Experiment

Frank Herbert
“We of the Sabotage Bureau remain legalists of a special category. We know that too much law injures a society; it is the same with too little law. One seeks a balance. We are like the balancing force among the Gowachin: without hope of achieving heaven in the society of mortals, we seek the unattainable. Each agent knows his own conscience and why he serves such a master. That is the key to us. We serve a mortal conscience for immortal reasons. We do it without hope of praise or the sureness of success.
— The early writings of Bildoon, PanSpechi Chief of BuSab”
Frank Herbert, The Dosadi Experiment

Ernest Becker
“Creation is a nightmare spectacular taking place on a planet that has been soaked for hundreds of millions of years in the blood of all its creatures.”
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Frank Herbert
“Radicals always see matters in terms which are too simple—black and white, good and evil, them and us. By addressing complex matters in that way, they rip open a passage for chaos. The art of government as you call it, is the mastery of chaos.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune

Frank Herbert
“The music of a civilization has far-reaching consequences on consciousness and, thus, influences the basic nature of a society. Music and its rhythms divert and compel the awareness, describing the limits within which a consciousness, thus fascinated, may operate.
Control the music, then, and you own a powerful tool with which to shape the society.
―The Dosadi Analysis, BuSab Documents”
Frank Herbert, The Dosadi Experiment
