    Paul Atreides is no more. He tried to stand as a supreme moral symbol while he renounced all moral pretensions. He became a saint without a god, every word a blasphemy. How can you think—”

    “Do you? I think you’ve been a bit gross. No! Don’t interrupt me. If I’m to be an Emperor, then you’d better learn how to listen to me. Do you think I cannot read between the lines? How were those tigers trained?”

    “When I was trained as a mentat . . . It is very difficult, Alia, to learn how to work your
    own mind. You learn first that the mind must be allowed to work itself. That’s very strange. You can work your own muscles, exercise them, strengthen them, but the mind acts of itself. Sometimes, when you have learned this about the mind, it shows you things you do not want to see.”

    “One: When they find a leader. This is the most volatile threat to the powerful; they must retain control of leaders.
    “Two: When the populace recognizes its chains. Keep the populace blind and unquestioning.
    “Three: When the populace perceives a hope of escape from bondage. They must never even believe that escape is possible!”
