There existed no need on Caladan to build a physical
paradise or a paradise of the mind--we could see the
actuality all around us. And the price we paid was the price
men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this
life--we went soft, we lost our edge.

died a meteor streaked across the skies above his ancestral
palace on Caladan.
