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
Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
Frank Herbert
The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
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
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
Law is the ultimate science.
Frank Herbert
The ferocity we show our foes must be tempered by the lesson we hope to teach.
Frank Herbert
What does a mirror look at?
Frank Herbert
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert
The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.
Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
To know a thing well, know it's limits Only when pushed beyond it's tolerance will it's true nature be seen. -The Amtal Rule
Frank Herbert
Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
Frank Herbert
Does a population have informed consent when that population is not taught the inner workings of its monetary system, and then is drawn, all unknowing, into economic adventures?
Frank Herbert
To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
Frank Herbert
Here lies a toppled god. His fall was not a small one. We did but build his pedestal, A narrow and a tall one.
Frank Herbert
The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness.
Frank Herbert
A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
