More quotes by Frank Herbert
History is a constant race between invention and catastrophe.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power.
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
Men always fear things which move by themselves.
Frank Herbert
Time is a measure of space, just as a range-finder is a measure of space, but measuring locks us into the place we measure.
Frank Herbert
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
Frank Herbert
Does a population have informed consent when that population is not taught the inner workings of its monetary system, and then is drawn, all unknowing, into economic adventures?
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
Frank Herbert
You do not take from this universe. It grants you what it will.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
Frank Herbert
Here lies a toppled god. His fall was not a small one. We did but build his pedestal, A narrow and a tall one.
Frank Herbert
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert
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.
Frank Herbert
