“When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it’s too late.”

“Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible.”
― Frank Herbert
“We Bene Gesserit sift people to find the humans.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

I do admit that the whole forced-marriage arrangement with the empress was kind of a jerkish move. No wonder why she was conspiring against him in the next installment. Who’d blame her?
