| Conversations with Muad'Dib |

My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the
basis for all morality. "Something cannot emerge from nothing," he said.
This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable "the truth"
can be. from "Conversations with Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan Dune
We came from Caladan - a paradise world for our form of life. There existed
no need on Caladan to build a physical paradise or a paradise of the mind -
we could see the actuality all around us. And the price we paid was the price
men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this life - we went soft,
we lost our edge.
