Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
If you focus your awareness only upon your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you.
Frank Herbert
Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: Now it's complete because it's ended here.

Frank Herbert
Beware of the truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then.
Frank Herbert
Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
When I need to identify rebels, I look for men with principles
