More quotes by Frank Herbert
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Once human beings realize something can be done, they're not satisfied until they've done it.
Frank Herbert
Most lives are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the stable. You stick your head into the stanchions and munch contentedly until you die. Others use you for their purposes. Not once do you look outside the stable to lift your head and be your own creature.
Frank Herbert
Never attempt to reason with people who know they are right!
Frank Herbert
Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
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
My lungs taste the air of Time,Blown past falling sands.
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
Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains.
Frank Herbert
The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief.
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
Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
Frank Herbert
My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
Frank Herbert
Beware! The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
Frank Herbert
Most men go through life unchallenged, except at the final moment.
Frank Herbert
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
Does a population have informed consent when that population is not taught the inner workings of its monetary system, and then is drawn, all unknowing, into economic adventures?
Frank Herbert
