Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
A requirement of creativity is that it contributes to change. Creativity keeps the creator alive.
Frank Herbert
I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.
Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
Polish comes from the cities wisdom from the desert.
Frank Herbert
The scarce water of Dune is an exact analog of oil scarcity. CHOAM is OPEC.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
