More quotes by Frank Herbert
When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
What does a mirror look at?
Frank Herbert
Jessica stopped beside him, said: 'What delicious abandon in the sleep of a child.' He spoke mechanically: 'If only adults could relax like that.' 'Yes.' 'Where do we lose it?' he murmured. 'We do, indeed, lose something,' she said.
Frank Herbert
Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys appearing inept?
Frank Herbert
What do you despise? By this are you truly known.
Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert
To know a thing well, know it's limits Only when pushed beyond it's tolerance will it's true nature be seen. -The Amtal Rule
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Justice required resort to law and that could be a fickle mistress, subject always to the whims and prejudices of those who administered the laws.
Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
Frank Herbert
Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
Frank Herbert
Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.
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
When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them
Frank Herbert
Can you collect chaos? Not collecting, that is the ultimate gathering. What can you gather without gathering yourself.
Frank Herbert
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
