Frank Herbert
“All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.”
Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

Gene Wolfe
“It had been washed clean of beauty. In the final reckoning there is only love, only that divinity. That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.”
Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw

Gene Wolfe
“Life, after all, is not a high thing, and in many ways is the reverse of purity. I am wise now, if not much older, and I know it is better to have all things, high and low, than to have the high only.”
Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw

Gene Wolfe
“In the final reckoning there is only love, only that divinity. That we are capable only of being what we are remains our unforgivable sin.”
Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw

Frank Herbert
“Most believe that a satisfactory future requires a return to an idealized past, a past which never in fact existed.”
Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune
