More quotes by Frank Herbert
The writing of history is largely a process of diversion. Most historical accounts distract attention from the secret influences behind great events.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
Frank Herbert
My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be.
Frank Herbert
If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal.
Frank Herbert
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
What is the son but an extension of the father?
Frank Herbert
You can't build politics on love. People aren't concerned with love it's too disordered. They prefer despotism. Too much freedom breeds chaos.
Frank Herbert
People don't vote. Instinct tells them it's useless.
Frank Herbert
Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
Frank Herbert
. . . is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be.
Frank Herbert
Justice? Who asks for justice? We make our own justice ... Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.
Frank Herbert
Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
Frank Herbert
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert
If you focus your awareness only upon your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you.
Frank Herbert
There's a lesson in every temptation.
Frank Herbert
No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always come interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individual.
Frank Herbert
There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin.
Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
