Riots and comedy are but symptoms of the times, profoundly revealing. They betray the psychological tone, the deep uncertainties....and the striving for something better, plus the fear that nothing would come of it all.
Frank Herbert
Image
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
Frank Herbert
Image
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.
Frank Herbert
Image
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
Image
Making workable choices occurs in a crucible of informative mistakes. Thus Intelligence accepts fallibility. And when absolute (infallible) choices are not known, Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.

People don't vote. Instinct tells them it's useless.

Life is a mask through which the universe expresses itself.
Frank Herbert
Image
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Some people never observe anything, Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.
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
Image
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert
Image
If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!
Frank Herbert
Image
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
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
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
Image
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Image
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
Image
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
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
Image
The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.
Frank Herbert

Grief is the price of victory.
