More quotes by Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become totally ignorant.
Frank Herbert
The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief.
Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
Frank Herbert
When I need to identify rebels, I look for men with principles
Frank Herbert
Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
Frank Herbert
Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.
Frank Herbert
The ferocity we show our foes must be tempered by the lesson we hope to teach.
Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
The successful writer listens to himself.
Frank Herbert
Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
Frank Herbert
Life is a mask through which the universe expresses itself.
Frank Herbert
Polish comes from the cities wisdom from the desert.
Frank Herbert
When a wise man does not understand, he says: I do not understand. The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
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
Only gods can safely risk perfection ... it's a dangerous thing for a man.
Frank Herbert
Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
Hope clouds observation.
