That's a direct quote from the book, right?


Yeah.

I was just wondering, because that particular line is in the Fatboy Slim song "Weapon Of Choice".
I noticed that as well, it took a while to place where I knew the line from, then I wondered why you'd randomly quote a sci-fi book in a song.

Well, Fatboy Slim does have some interesting influences (Christopher Walken and Bootsy Collins from Parliament Funkadelic were in the video to that song). So I suppose it wouldn't be too far off the mark to exepect a Sci-Fi reference.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

One more interesting note that I forgot to mention: In SciFi's Children of Dune, Duncan Idaho is played by none other than Edward Atterton, our very own Atherton Wing!

Hmm, why did I never notice how similar Atterton and Atherton were? :-P

No power in the 'verse can stop me!
