A voice hissed: He sheds tears! It was taken around the ring Usal gives moisture to the dead! He felt fingers touch his damp cheek, heard the awed whispers.

More quotes by Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert
What is the son but an extension of the father?
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
Frank Herbert
Remember: Bureaucracy elevates conformity ... Make that elevates 'fatal stupidity' to the status of religion.
Frank Herbert
A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life.
Frank Herbert
Absolute prediction is completion . . . is death!
Frank Herbert
The most important survival ability for any life form is the ability to change.
Frank Herbert
Life - all life - is in the service of life. Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases. The entire landscape comes alive, filled with relationships and relationships within relationships.
Frank Herbert
The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
Frank Herbert
If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced.
Frank Herbert
Hope clouds observation.
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
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
Frank Herbert
