Frank Herbert
I live in an apocalyptic dream. My steps fit into it so precisely that I fear most of all I will grow bored reliving the thing so exactly.
Frank Herbert
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
Frank Herbert
A voice hissed: He sheds tears! It was taken around the ring Usal gives moisture to the dead! He felt fingers touch his damp cheek, heard the awed whispers.
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
There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
