More quotes by Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
Frank Herbert
The scarce water of Dune is an exact analog of oil scarcity. CHOAM is OPEC.
Frank Herbert
There's an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money (energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give.
Frank Herbert
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
the sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
To be a god can ultimately become boring and degrading. There'd be reason enough for the invention of free will! A god might wish to escape into sleep and be alive only in the unconscious projections of his dream-creatures.
Frank Herbert
Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
Frank Herbert
The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new.

Frank Herbert
The stakes in conflict do not change. Battle determines who will control the wealth or its equivalent.
Frank Herbert
If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced.
Frank Herbert
Life - all life - is in the service of life. Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases. The entire landscape comes alive, filled with relationships and relationships within relationships.
Frank Herbert
The ferocity we show our foes must be tempered by the lesson we hope to teach.
Frank Herbert
Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
