Quote by Frank Herbert

“I drove my feet through a desert Whose mirage fluttered like a host. Voracious for glory, greedy for danger, I roamed the horizons of al-Kulab. Watching time level mountains In its search and its hunger for me. And I saw the sparrows swiftly approach, Bolder than the onrushing wolf. They spread in the tree of my youth. I heard the flock in my branches And was caught on their beaks and claws!”

Ultimately, a dilemma will arise: succumb to exploitation or face the inexorable reality, as the law of the jungle dictates the inevitability of domination or subjugation. Indeed, there exists no concept of a free meal.”
