More quotes by Frank Herbert
Justice? Who asks for justice? We make our own justice ... Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
Frank Herbert
Madness in method, that's genius
Frank Herbert
Most men go through life unchallenged, except at the final moment.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Words themselves were the ultimate barrier to revelation.
Frank Herbert
The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
Frank Herbert
Death makes a prophet's voice louder.
Frank Herbert
Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
Radicals are only to be feared when you try to suppress them. You must demonstrate that you will use the best of what they offer.
Frank Herbert
The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called spannungsbogen -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.
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
