Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
the sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak they create the seeds of turmoil and violence.
Frank Herbert
When I need to identify rebels, I look for men with principles
