1 " We are plagued by a corrupt polity which promotes unlawful and/or immoral behaviour. Public interest has no practical significance in everyday behaviour among the ruling factions. The real problems of our world are not being confronted by those in power. In the guise of public service, they use whatever comes to hand for personal gain. They are insane with and for power. "
― Frank Herbert , The Dosadi Experiment (ConSentiency Universe, #2)
2 " What a paradox it is, the sane causes more problems than the insane! It is! The real problems of the world do not come from the insane but, the sane! "

3 " It's the superhero problem . . . .Superpowers make everything personal. Batman versus Joker. Fantastic Four versus Galactus. The Big G might be the Devourer of Worlds, but in the end he's just a dude. Beat him and the problem goes away. But the real problems aren't like that. You can't solve them by hitting them. The real supervillains. . . . were people in suits who met in rooms and decided things. Destroy one and another would take her place "
― Ian McDonald , Empress of the Sun (Everness, #3)
4 " When you meet the real problems of life, think of the real lessons of life for the real lessons of life are in the real problems of life "
