Frank Herbert
The basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Frank Herbert
Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become totally ignorant.
Frank Herbert
