Frank Herbert
Words are such gross machinery, so primitive and ambiguous.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.
Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
When you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense.
Frank Herbert
We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power.
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
