More quotes by Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert
Death makes a prophet's voice louder.
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
Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
Frank Herbert
Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new.
Frank Herbert
They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak they create the seeds of turmoil and violence.
Frank Herbert
The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
If you ask Should we be in space? you ask a nonsense question. We are in space. We will be in space.
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.
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
We are generalists. You can't draw neat lines around planet-wide problems. Planetology is a cut-and-fit science.
Frank Herbert
the sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
A creature who has spent his life creating one particular representation of his selfdom will die rather than become the antithesis of that representation
Frank Herbert
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
It was mostly sweet, he whispered, and you were the sweetest of all.
Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect all who seek it ... We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase that reluctance.
Frank Herbert
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
Frank Herbert
What is the son but an extension of the father?
Frank Herbert
