“The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.

― Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

“Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?”
