More quotes by Frank Herbert
What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.
Frank Herbert
There are limits to power, as those who put their hopes in a constitution always discover.
Frank Herbert
Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
Frank Herbert
The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.
Frank Herbert
There's an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money (energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give.
Frank Herbert
The successful writer listens to himself.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
Frank Herbert
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Some people never observe anything, Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.
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
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 power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.
Frank Herbert
What does a mirror look at?
Frank Herbert
When a wise man does not understand, he says: I do not understand. The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom.
Frank Herbert
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken.
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.
Frank Herbert
