“Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.

“Review, friends—troops long past review,” the Duke intoned. “All to fate a weight of pains and dollars. Their spirits wear our silver collars.

When our time ends on its rictus smile, we’ll pass the lure of fortune.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.”
