Frank Herbert
Image
I never thought it would be easy to serve God, she said. I just didn't think it would be this hard.

My lungs taste the air of Time,Blown past falling sands.
Frank Herbert
Image
To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
Frank Herbert
Image
A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
Frank Herbert
