More quotes by Frank Herbert
Nature does not make mistakes. Right and wrong are human categories.
Frank Herbert
What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.
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 basic lesson of our relativistic universe is that things change. Any power must always meet a greater power.
Frank Herbert
Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new.
Frank Herbert
The mind can go either direction under stress—toward positive or toward negative: on or off. Think of it as a spectrum whose extremes are unconsciousness at the negative end and hyperconsciousness at the positive end. The way the mind will lean under stress is strongly influenced by training.
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.
Frank Herbert
When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Frank Herbert
Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount.
Frank Herbert
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
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
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert
If you ask Should we be in space? you ask a nonsense question. We are in space. We will be in space.
Frank Herbert
There are limits to power, as those who put their hopes in a constitution always discover.
Frank Herbert
Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ability to learn. The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.
Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert
Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.
Frank Herbert
