More quotes by Frank Herbert
When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them
Frank Herbert
Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves, I am not the kind of person I want to be. It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.
Frank Herbert
Unused power was like a marionette with visible strings, nobody holding them. A compelling attraction: I could make it dance.
Frank Herbert
Infinity? It attracts us like a floodlight in the night.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert
You do not take from this universe. It grants you what it will.
Frank Herbert
A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
Frank Herbert
The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he or she is in. That person must reflect what is projected upon him or her.
Frank Herbert
Reason is the first victim of strong emotion.
Frank Herbert
If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal.
Frank Herbert
Education is no substitute for intelligence.
Frank Herbert
Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They're a kind of job insurance.
Frank Herbert
The clear and safe path leads evermore into stagnation
Frank Herbert
