25. I am going to watch that movie again.
But honestly, I lean more towards a Dune quote, (also found a quote that also makes a bit of a comment on a recent rulling by the supreme court, and from my opinion defence of democracy.)

The Spacing Guild
Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the
personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of
government is always subordinate to the will of those who
administer that machinery. The most important element of
government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.
-Law and Governance
The Spacing Guild Manual

Any path which narrows future possibilities may become a
lethal trap. Humans are not threading their way through a
maze; they scan a vast horizon filled with unique
opportunities...
-The Spacing Guild Handbook

opportunities, and a few obstacles, but still many choices.


But my main point is that life is not a maze with one black path and one white, but many directions and oppurtunities that are hues of grey. And many times people want you to think you have only a few choices, so that you do not look at all the things around a person.
