Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Frank Herbert
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
