More quotes by Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
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
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

Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Control the coinage and the courts — let the rabble have the rest.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
When you think you know something: that is a most perfect barrier against learning.
Frank Herbert
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
Frank Herbert
. . . is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be.
Frank Herbert
It must certainly be more dangerous to live in ignorance than to live with knowledge.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
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
Here lies a toppled god. His fall was not a small one. We did but build his pedestal, A narrow and a tall one.
Frank Herbert
