More quotes by Frank Herbert
Silence is often the best thing to say.
Frank Herbert
There are problems in this universe for which there are no answers. Nothing. Nothing can be done.
Frank Herbert
There are limits to power, as those who put their hopes in a constitution always discover.
Frank Herbert
I cry for those not yet dead.
Frank Herbert
Religion must remain an outlet for people who say to themselves, I am not the kind of person I want to be. It must never sink into an assemblage of the self-satisfied.
Frank Herbert
There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin.
Frank Herbert
Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.
Frank Herbert
What I'm saying in my books boils down to this: Mine religion for what is good and avoid what is deleterious. Don't condemn people who need it. Be very careful when that need becomes fanatical.
Frank Herbert
You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.
Frank Herbert
Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality.
Frank Herbert
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
Frank Herbert
Why is it that foolishness repeats itself with such monotonous precision?
Frank Herbert
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains.
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
Mankind has only one science… its the science of discontent.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
Frank Herbert
Justice? Who asks for justice? We make our own justice ... Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
Frank Herbert
