More quotes by Frank Herbert
Ecology is often confused with environmentalism, while in fact, environmentalism often leaves out the fact that people, too, can be a legitimate part of an ecosystem.
Frank Herbert
If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal.
Frank Herbert
Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
Frank Herbert
You know it's love when you want to give joy and damn the consequences.
Frank Herbert
The successful writer listens to himself.
Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
Never attempt to reason with people who know they are right!
Frank Herbert
You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
Frank Herbert
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
Religions often partake of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.
Frank Herbert
Can you collect chaos? Not collecting, that is the ultimate gathering. What can you gather without gathering yourself.
Frank Herbert
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.
Frank Herbert
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
Frank Herbert
The highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences.
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
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence. That elusive quality is defined only in part by puzzle-solving ability. It is in the creation of new puzzles reflecting what your senses report that you round out the definitions.
Frank Herbert
I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.
Frank Herbert
