“We must develop an absolute priority of humans ahead of profit — any humans ahead of any profit. Then we will survive. … Together.”

Frank Herbert (1920–1986) American writer

General sources
Context: The thing we must do intensely is be human together. People are more important than things. We must get together. The best thing humans can have going for them is each other. We have each other. We must reject everything which humiliates us. Humans are not objects of consumption. We must develop an absolute priority of humans ahead of profit — any humans ahead of any profit. Then we will survive. … Together.
