More quotes by Frank Herbert
A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
If I'd been born in my grandfather's time, I'd have made my grandfather's mistakes. Theres no doubt of it. I just don't want to make my grandfather's mistakes today.
Frank Herbert
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
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
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
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
Frank Herbert
The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.
Frank Herbert
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert
Life is a mask through which the universe expresses itself.
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
Hope clouds observation.
Frank Herbert
Death makes a prophet's voice louder.
Frank Herbert
We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power.
Frank Herbert
Good governance never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.
Frank Herbert
Nature does not make mistakes. Right and wrong are human categories.
Frank Herbert
the sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
One must cast off old agonies as a snake casts off its skin--only to grow a new set and accept all of their limitations.
Frank Herbert
Control the coinage and the courts — let the rabble have the rest.
Frank Herbert
