More quotes by Frank Herbert
Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount.
Frank Herbert
The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.
Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert
The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.
Frank Herbert
Why is it that foolishness repeats itself with such monotonous precision?
Frank Herbert
Infinity? It attracts us like a floodlight in the night.
Frank Herbert
Peace for any prolonged period of time is impossible. Humans have a natural thirst for chaos and war is the most readily available form of chaos.
Frank Herbert
The real universe is always one step beyond logic.
Frank Herbert
the meeting between ignorance and knowledge, between brutality and culture - it begins in the dignity with which we treat the dead
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
I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.
Frank Herbert
Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.
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
If we define Futurism as an exploration beyond accepted limits, then the nature of limiting systems becomes the first object of exploration.
Frank Herbert
Words are such gross machinery, so primitive and ambiguous.
Frank Herbert
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
We are questioning more than the philosophy behind our dependence upon limited and limiting systems. We question the power structures that have grown up around such systems.
Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert
Clinging to any form of conservatism can be dangerous. Become too conservative and you are unprepared for surprises. You cannot depend on luck. Logic is blind and often knows only its own past. Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
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
