Frank Herbert _ Dune Messiah
You can't stop a mental epidemic. It leaps from person to person across parsecs. It's overwhelmingly contagious. It strikes at the unprotected side, in the place where we lodge the fragments of other such plagues. Who can stop such a thing? Muad'dib hasn't the antidote. The thing has roots in chaos.

Frank Herbert _ Dune Messiah
She rides the sandworm of space!She guides through all stormsInto the land of gentle winds.Though we sleep by the snake's den,She guards our dreaming sould.Shunning the desert heat,She hides us in a cool hollow.The gleaming of her white teethGuides us in the night. By the braids of her hairWe are lifted to heaven!Sweet fragrance, flower-scented,Surrounds us in her presence.

Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: "I feed on your energy." -Addenda to Orders in Council The Emperor Paul Muad'Dib First
