Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.
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
If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
