“Don’t use his name as an oath, Vin,” Kelsier said. “Even blasphemy
honors him—when you curse by that creature’s name, you acknowledge

"No Atreides retainer had ever been more loyal. None better at shield fighting. He’d been Paul’s trusted confidant and teacher."

"We can still remember the golden days before Heisenberg, who
