More quotes by Frank Herbert
The successful writer listens to himself.
Frank Herbert
Making workable choices occurs in a crucible of informative mistakes. Thus Intelligence accepts fallibility. And when absolute (infallible) choices are not known, Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.
Frank Herbert
No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.
Frank Herbert
A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel.
Frank Herbert
We can say that Maud'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn.
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
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal.
Frank Herbert
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
Frank Herbert
When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them
Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
Give as few orders as possible, his father had told him once long ago. Once you've given orders on a subject, you must always give orders on that subject.
Frank Herbert
If there is a difference between what is said and what is done, only a fool believes what was said.
Frank Herbert
A requirement of creativity is that it contributes to change. Creativity keeps the creator alive.
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
Nature does not make mistakes. Right and wrong are human categories.
Frank Herbert
Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
Frank Herbert
