More quotes by Frank Herbert

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
If you ask Should we be in space? you ask a nonsense question. We are in space. We will be in space.
Frank Herbert
Proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known.
Frank Herbert
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgement of your existence.
