Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: Now it's complete because it's ended here.
Frank Herbert
Image
No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.
Frank Herbert
Image
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
Image
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
Image
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Image
The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
Image
When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.
Frank Herbert
Image
If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together!
