Frank Herbert
The real universe is always one step beyond logic.
Frank Herbert
There are problems in this universe for which there are no answers. Nothing. Nothing can be done.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
Beware of the truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then.
Frank Herbert
Too much knowledge never makes for simple decisions.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
Frank Herbert
Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life.
Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.
Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.
Frank Herbert
The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.
Frank Herbert
