POWER ATTRACTS PATHOLOGICAL PERSONALITIES

POWER“All governments suffer a recurring problem:  Power attracts pathological  personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.”

~ Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse Dune ~

Frank Patrick Herbert, Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was an American science fiction writer best known for the novel Dune and its five sequels.  The Dune saga, set in the distant future and taking place over millennia, deals with complex themes such as human survival and evolution, ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics and power.
