Frank Herbert
Once human beings realize something can be done, they're not satisfied until they've done it.
Frank Herbert
Beware! The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
Frank Herbert
Life is a mask through which the universe expresses itself.
Frank Herbert
There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.
Frank Herbert
The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
