“Atrocity has no excuses,no mitigating argument. Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity. It is self perpetuating upon itself-a barbarous form of incest. Whoever commits atrocity also commits those future atrocities thus bred.”
– The Apocrypha of Muad’Dib, Dune by Frank Herbert.
