More quotes by Frank Herbert
Riots and comedy are but symptoms of the times, profoundly revealing. They betray the psychological tone, the deep uncertainties....and the striving for something better, plus the fear that nothing would come of it all.
Frank Herbert
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
When you imagine mistakes, there can be no self-defense.
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

Frank Herbert
Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.
Frank Herbert
Making workable choices occurs in a crucible of informative mistakes. Thus Intelligence accepts fallibility. And when absolute (infallible) choices are not known, Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
Jessica stopped beside him, said: 'What delicious abandon in the sleep of a child.' He spoke mechanically: 'If only adults could relax like that.' 'Yes.' 'Where do we lose it?' he murmured. 'We do, indeed, lose something,' she said.
Frank Herbert
The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.
Frank Herbert
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert
One must cast off old agonies as a snake casts off its skin--only to grow a new set and accept all of their limitations.
Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
