spice must flow quote
Interesting discussion of it here https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/153402/does-the-quote-the-spice-must-flow-appear-in-the-original-dune-series

Apparently doesn't appear verbatim in books (only film) but similar quotes do appear:
 * Paul turned back to look at the Emperor, said: “When they permitted you to mount your father’s throne, it was only on the assurance that you’d keep the spice flowing. You’ve failed them, Majesty. Do you know the consequences?”
 * “Stop playing the fool,” Paul barked. “The Guild is like a village beside a river. They need the water, but can only dip out what they require. They cannot dam the river and control it, because that focuses attention on what they take, it brings down eventual destruction. The spice flow, that’s their river, and I have built a dam. But my dam is such that you cannot destroy it without destroying the river.”

So it was derived from the book's metaphor. Tycio (talk) 10:25, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
