      For 40k, I actually feel like “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates open and unbarred” is a cooler, if less iconic quote. It just conveys the ridiculous dystopia of the Imperium so well and so quickly.

      But yeah gotta love the classic BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! YOUR CORPSE-EMPEROR WILL NOT SAVE YOU!

    A more recent one that really struck me hard was the date lines in True Detective - Night Country.

    Dec. 22nd Third Day of Night

    It really grounded me how fucking creepy it must be to see the sunset and know it’s not coming back for months.

      I spent a part of my childhood in the extreme north, and you get used to it. Usually I wouldn’t see the sun between mid December and late January. Winter just becomes a dark time, and you get used to the street lights. The first sunrise feels almost magical.

    “The spice must flow” is not in the Dune book, only David Lynch’s adaptation.
