Frank Herbert
Image
Justice required resort to law and that could be a fickle mistress, subject always to the whims and prejudices of those who administered the laws.
Frank Herbert

Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
Image
Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he or she is in. That person must reflect what is projected upon him or her.
Frank Herbert
Image
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
Image
The real universe is always one step beyond logic.
Frank Herbert
Image
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgement of your existence.
