Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Politics: the art of appearing candid and completely open while concealing as much as possible.
Frank Herbert
Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.
Frank Herbert

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
Control the coinage and the courts — let the rabble have the rest.
Frank Herbert
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert
The most important survival ability for any life form is the ability to change.
Frank Herbert
History is a constant race between invention and catastrophe.
Frank Herbert
The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
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
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert
