You can't build politics on love. People aren't concerned with love it's too disordered. They prefer despotism. Too much freedom breeds chaos.
Frank Herbert
Image
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert
Image
To be a god can ultimately become boring and degrading. There'd be reason enough for the invention of free will! A god might wish to escape into sleep and be alive only in the unconscious projections of his dream-creatures.
Frank Herbert

Men always fear things which move by themselves.
Frank Herbert
Image

Frank Herbert
Image

Frank Herbert
Image
Hope clouds observation.
Frank Herbert

What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
Image
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
Image
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect all who seek it ... We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase that reluctance.
Frank Herbert
Image
I live in an apocalyptic dream. My steps fit into it so precisely that I fear most of all I will grow bored reliving the thing so exactly.
Frank Herbert
Image
You know it's love when you want to give joy and damn the consequences.
Frank Herbert
Image
Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They're a kind of job insurance.
