Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves, I am not the kind of person I want to be. It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.

Frank Herbert
Does a population have informed consent when a ruling minority acts in secret to ignite a war, doing this to justify the existence of the minority's forces? ... Failure to provide full information for informed consent on such an issue represents an ultimate crime.

Frank Herbert
Journalism is the entertainment business.
Frank Herbert
Beware of the truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then.
Frank Herbert
Give as few orders as possible, his father had told him once long ago. Once you've given orders on a subject, you must always give orders on that subject.
Frank Herbert
I never thought it would be easy to serve God, she said. I just didn't think it would be this hard.
Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people.
Frank Herbert
