If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
Image
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert
Image
No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individual.
Frank Herbert
Image
You know it's love when you want to give joy and damn the consequences.
Frank Herbert
Image

Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
Image
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
Image
Providence and Manifest Destiny are synonyms often invoked to support arguments based on wishful thinking.
Frank Herbert
Image
Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves, I am not the kind of person I want to be. It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.
Frank Herbert
Image
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.
Frank Herbert
Image
Words themselves were the ultimate barrier to revelation.
Frank Herbert
Image
The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called spannungsbogen -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.
Frank Herbert
