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
The basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
