Quote #10
"I swear to you now," [Paul] whispered, "that you'll need no title. That woman over there will be my wife and you but a concubine because this is a political thing and we must weld peace out of this moment, enlist the Great Houses of the Landsraad. We must obey the forms. […]." (48.362)
Politics pushes its influence onto family in this quote. Both Paul and Irulan must marry for political peace. Even Paul, the great Muad'Dib and conqueror, must give up a piece of his happiness to "obey the forms."
