More quotes by Frank Herbert
There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
You do not take from this universe. It grants you what it will.
Frank Herbert
Ecology is often confused with environmentalism, while in fact, environmentalism often leaves out the fact that people, too, can be a legitimate part of an ecosystem.
Frank Herbert
I never thought it would be easy to serve God, she said. I just didn't think it would be this hard.
Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
This wise man observed that wealth is a tool of freedom. But the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
To endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe. You cannot hire a wise man or any other intellect to solve it for you. There's no writ of inquest or calling of witness to provide answers.
Frank Herbert
But it's well known that repression makes a religion flourish.
Frank Herbert
