More quotes by Frank Herbert
But it's well known that repression makes a religion flourish.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
Nature does not make mistakes. Right and wrong are human categories.
Frank Herbert
Control the coinage and the courts — let the rabble have the rest.
Frank Herbert
Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
Frank Herbert
Mankind has only one science… its the science of discontent.
Frank Herbert
Madness in method, that's genius
Frank Herbert
To endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe. You cannot hire a wise man or any other intellect to solve it for you. There's no writ of inquest or calling of witness to provide answers.
