Frank Herbert
Image
No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individual.
Frank Herbert
Image
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
Image
Madness in method, that's genius
Frank Herbert

The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
Image
You don't write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you're really doing it, that's all you're doing: writing.
Frank Herbert
