"Curious. I have brought The Sith to their ultimate victory. Through study, I will soon learn how to defeat death. While I may choose apprentices, I will never choose a successor."
— Darth Sidious,
Marginalia in The Book of The Sith,

"Selecting an Apprentice"
“I Shall Be President ETERNALLY —
And Rule FOREVER!”
Lord-President Borusa
The Force is a concept
By which we measure
My Power
I'll say it again
The Force is a concept
By which we measure
My Power
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in Qui-Gonn
I don't believe in Black Scrolls
I don't believe in Holocron
I don't believe in Vader
I don't believe in Grievous
I don't believe in Dooku
I don't believe in Sentirs
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Jedi
I don't believe in Yoda
I don't believe in Kings
I don't believe in Jabba
I don't believe in Anakin
I don't believe in Sith
I just believe in Me
Emperor Palpatine
That's Reality
The Dream is over
What can I say?
The Dream is over
Yesterday
I was The Senator
But now I'm reborn
I was Supreme Chancellor
But now I'm The Emperor
And so, loyal vassals
You'll just have to
Obey My Will
The Dream is over...
