More quotes by 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
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
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
If you ask Should we be in space? you ask a nonsense question. We are in space. We will be in space.
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
You can't build politics on love. People aren't concerned with love it's too disordered. They prefer despotism. Too much freedom breeds chaos.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
Frank Herbert
What do you despise? By this are you truly known.
Frank Herbert
Demagogues are so easy to identify. They gesture a lot and speak with pulpit rhythms, using words that ring of religious fervour and god-fearing sincerity. Sincerity with nothing behind it takes so much practice. The practice can always be detected. Repetition. Great attempts to keep your attention on words.
Frank Herbert
Think on it, Chani: the princess will have the name, yet she'll live as less than a concubine - never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine - history will call us wives.
Frank Herbert
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
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
The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
Frank Herbert
You know it's love when you want to give joy and damn the consequences.
Frank Herbert
Can you collect chaos? Not collecting, that is the ultimate gathering. What can you gather without gathering yourself.
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
The scarce water of Dune is an exact analog of oil scarcity. CHOAM is OPEC.
Frank Herbert
