Baron Vladimir Harkonnen Quotes in Dune
I must rule with eye and claw—as the the hawk among lesser birds.
The whole universe sat there, open to the man who could make the right decisions. The uncertain rabbits had to be exposed, made to run for their burrows. Else how could you control them and breed them? He pictured his fighting men as bees routing the rabbits. And he thought: The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Let him sweat a little, the Baron thought. One must always keep the tools of statecraft sharp and ready. Power and fear—sharp and ready.
“I’m sorry, Grandfather,” Alia said. You’ve met the Atreides gom jabbar.”
