More quotes by Frank Herbert
Good subjects must feel guilty. The guilt begins as a feeling of failure. The good autocrat provides many opportunities for failure in the populace.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
It must certainly be more dangerous to live in ignorance than to live with knowledge.
Frank Herbert
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgement of your existence.
Frank Herbert
Caution is the path to mediocrity.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains.
Frank Herbert
The basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Frank Herbert
Demagogues are so easy to identify. They gesture a lot and speak with pulpit rhythms, using words that ring of religious fervour and god-fearing sincerity. Sincerity with nothing behind it takes so much practice. The practice can always be detected. Repetition. Great attempts to keep your attention on words.
Frank Herbert
A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
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
I never thought it would be easy to serve God, she said. I just didn't think it would be this hard.
Frank Herbert
No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.
Frank Herbert
We are generalists. You can't draw neat lines around planet-wide problems. Planetology is a cut-and-fit science.
Frank Herbert
You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.
Frank Herbert
What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence. That elusive quality is defined only in part by puzzle-solving ability. It is in the creation of new puzzles reflecting what your senses report that you round out the definitions.
Frank Herbert
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
Frank Herbert
Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.
Frank Herbert
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Frank Herbert
