More quotes by 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
Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount.
Frank Herbert
If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.
Frank Herbert
The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.
Frank Herbert
There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
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

Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.
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
No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individual.
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.
Frank Herbert
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
