More quotes by Frank Herbert
A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
We’ve lost something vital, I tell you. When we lost it, we lost the ability to make good decisions. We fall upon decisions these days the way we fall upon an enemy—or wait and wait, which is a form of giving up, and we allow the decisions of others to move us. Have we forgotten that we were the ones who set this current flowing?
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect all who seek it ... We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase that reluctance.
Frank Herbert
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert
Never attempt to reason with people who know they are right!
Frank Herbert
Words themselves were the ultimate barrier to revelation.
Frank Herbert
A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
Frank Herbert
Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
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
They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak they create the seeds of turmoil and violence.
Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
Ecology is often confused with environmentalism, while in fact, environmentalism often leaves out the fact that people, too, can be a legitimate part of an ecosystem.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
Frank Herbert
