More quotes by 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
It was mostly sweet, he whispered, and you were the sweetest of all.
Frank Herbert
The ferocity we show our foes must be tempered by the lesson we hope to teach.
Frank Herbert
We are questioning more than the philosophy behind our dependence upon limited and limiting systems. We question the power structures that have grown up around such systems.
Frank Herbert
A requirement of creativity is that it contributes to change. Creativity keeps the creator alive.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Frank Herbert
Why is it that foolishness repeats itself with such monotonous precision?
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Infinity? It attracts us like a floodlight in the night.
Frank Herbert
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.
Frank Herbert
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
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
Life - all life - is in the service of life. Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases. The entire landscape comes alive, filled with relationships and relationships within relationships.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
Frank Herbert
Providence and Manifest Destiny are synonyms often invoked to support arguments based on wishful thinking.
Frank Herbert
Most men go through life unchallenged, except at the final moment.
Frank Herbert
