Original Note:
Frank Herbert did not say this. Rather this is referencing a quote from his famous novel "Dune", in which a character states "he who controls the spice, controls the universe" - in Dune, "spice" is a potent and rare nootropic drug central to galactic commerce. https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/whoever-controls-spice-controls-universe
