Leto Atreides II: "The child who refuses to travel in the father’s harness, this is the symbol of man’s most unique capability.
‘I do not have to be what my father was. I do not have to obey my father’s rules or even believe everything he believed.
It is my strength as a human that I can make my own choices of what to believe what not to believe, of what to be and what not to be."
"Radicals always see matters in terms which are too simple–black and white, good and evil, them and us.
By addressing complex matters in that way, they rip open a passage for chaos.
The art of government as you call it, is the mastery of chaos."

Verily, it is a cornucopia of the anti-hero and social deconstructionist.
