More quotes by Frank Herbert
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
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
Beware of the truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then.
Frank Herbert
Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
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
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
What does a mirror look at?
Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
The ferocity we show our foes must be tempered by the lesson we hope to teach.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
Mankind has only one science… its the science of discontent.
Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
When you think to take determination of your fate into your own hands, that is the moment you can be crushed. Be cautious.
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
The basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Frank Herbert
For now is my grief heavier than the sands of the seas, she thought. This world has emptied me of all but the oldest purpose: tomorrow's life.
Frank Herbert
The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it.
Frank Herbert
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Frank Herbert
