More quotes by Frank Herbert
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
Proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known.
Frank Herbert
Technology is both a tool for helping humans and for destroying them. This is the paradox of our times which we're compelled to face.
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
Infinity? It attracts us like a floodlight in the night.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.
Frank Herbert
Absolute prediction is completion . . . is death!
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
A voice hissed: He sheds tears! It was taken around the ring Usal gives moisture to the dead! He felt fingers touch his damp cheek, heard the awed whispers.
