More quotes by Frank Herbert
Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.
Frank Herbert
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert
Technology is both a tool for helping humans and for destroying them. This is the paradox of our times which we're compelled to face.
Frank Herbert
A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people.
Frank Herbert
The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
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. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
Frank Herbert
Why is it that foolishness repeats itself with such monotonous precision?
Frank Herbert
What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.
Frank Herbert
Words themselves were the ultimate barrier to revelation.
Frank Herbert
Time is a measure of space, just as a range-finder is a measure of space, but measuring locks us into the place we measure.
Frank Herbert
Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality.
Frank Herbert
To endure oneself may be the hardest task in the universe. You cannot hire a wise man or any other intellect to solve it for you. There's no writ of inquest or calling of witness to provide answers.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
Frank Herbert
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
Frank Herbert
the sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
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
Words are such gross machinery, so primitive and ambiguous.
Frank Herbert
