Frank Herbert
There's a lesson in every temptation.
Frank Herbert
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
Frank Herbert
Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.
Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
