You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.
Frank Herbert
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Some people never observe anything, Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.
Frank Herbert
Only gods can safely risk perfection ... it's a dangerous thing for a man.
Frank Herbert
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.
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

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
What I'm saying in my books boils down to this: Mine religion for what is good and avoid what is deleterious. Don't condemn people who need it. Be very careful when that need becomes fanatical.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
There's an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money (energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give.
Frank Herbert
Democracy is susceptible to being led astray by having scapegoats paraded in front of the electorate.
Frank Herbert
A requirement of creativity is that it contributes to change. Creativity keeps the creator alive.
Frank Herbert
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
Frank Herbert
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
