More quotes by Frank Herbert
If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!
Frank Herbert
Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.
Frank Herbert
It must certainly be more dangerous to live in ignorance than to live with knowledge.
Frank Herbert
We’ve lost something vital, I tell you. When we lost it, we lost the ability to make good decisions. We fall upon decisions these days the way we fall upon an enemy—or wait and wait, which is a form of giving up, and we allow the decisions of others to move us. Have we forgotten that we were the ones who set this current flowing?
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Most men go through life unchallenged, except at the final moment.
Frank Herbert
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
Constitutions become the ultimate tyranny, Paul said. They’re organized power on such a scale as to be overwhelming. The constitution is social power mobilized and it has no conscience. It can crush the highest and the lowest, removing all dignity and individuality. It has an unstable balance point and no limitations.
Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.
Frank Herbert
Then, as his planet killed him, it occurred to Kynes that his father and all the other scientists were wrong, that the most persistent principles of the universe were accident and error.
Frank Herbert
Words are such gross machinery, so primitive and ambiguous.
Frank Herbert
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
Frank Herbert
