“I assure you from a God’s Olympian perch that government is a shared myth. When the myth dies, the government dies.”
— Leto Atreides II, God Emperor of Dune
“That this social order with its pauperism, famines, prisons, gallows, armies, and wars is necessary to society; that still greater disaster would ensue if this organization were destroyed; all this is said only by those who profit by this organization, while those who suffer from it – and they are ten times as numerous – think and say quite the contrary.”
— Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
“Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.”
