More quotes by Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we do to each other.
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
Then, as his planet killed him, it occurred to Kynes that his father and all the other scientists were wrong, that the most persistent principles of the universe were accident and error.
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
We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power.
Frank Herbert
When a wise man does not understand, he says: I do not understand. The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom.
Frank Herbert
Infinity? It attracts us like a floodlight in the night.
Frank Herbert
It was mostly sweet, he whispered, and you were the sweetest of all.
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
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
Reason is the first victim of strong emotion.
Frank Herbert
The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.
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 vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
Time is a measure of space, just as a range-finder is a measure of space, but measuring locks us into the place we measure.
Frank Herbert
Radicals are only to be feared when you try to suppress them. You must demonstrate that you will use the best of what they offer.
Frank Herbert
The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
