More quotes by Frank Herbert
Justice belongs to those who claim it, but let the claimant beware lest he create new injustice by his claim and thus set the bloody pendulum of revenge into its inexorable motion
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires. Thus always the human condition faces a beautifully empty canvas. We possess only this moment in which to dedicate ourselves continuously to the sacred presence which we share and create.
Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
Frank Herbert
Absolute prediction is completion . . . is death!
Frank Herbert
It must certainly be more dangerous to live in ignorance than to live with knowledge.
Frank Herbert
Control the coinage and the courts — let the rabble have the rest.
Frank Herbert
There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.
Frank Herbert
Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he or she is in. That person must reflect what is projected upon him or her.
Frank Herbert
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert
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
Question: Who governs the governors? Answer: Entropy
Frank Herbert
History is a constant race between invention and catastrophe.
Frank Herbert
What does a mirror look at?
Frank Herbert
If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced.
Frank Herbert
Only gods can safely risk perfection ... it's a dangerous thing for a man.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert
