More quotes by Frank Herbert
Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys appearing inept?
Frank Herbert
The real universe is always one step beyond logic.
Frank Herbert
The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
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
There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.
Frank Herbert
A creature who has spent his life creating one particular representation of his selfdom will die rather than become the antithesis of that representation
Frank Herbert
The highest function of ecology is the understanding of consequences.
Frank Herbert
Too much knowledge never makes for simple decisions.
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
We’ve lost something vital, I tell you. When we lost it, we lost the ability to make good decisions. We fall upon decisions these days the way we fall upon an enemy—or wait and wait, which is a form of giving up, and we allow the decisions of others to move us. Have we forgotten that we were the ones who set this current flowing?
Frank Herbert
If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
There is no escape - we pay for the violence of our ancestors.
Frank Herbert
Religions often partake of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.
Frank Herbert
The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you.
Frank Herbert
What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
Hope clouds observation.
