More quotes by Frank Herbert
Think on it, Chani: the princess will have the name, yet she'll live as less than a concubine - never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine - history will call us wives.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
If we define Futurism as an exploration beyond accepted limits, then the nature of limiting systems becomes the first object of exploration.
Frank Herbert
The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness.
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
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
Frank Herbert
Madness in method, that's genius
Frank Herbert
Reason is the first victim of strong emotion.
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.
