Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
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

What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.
Frank Herbert
You do not take from this universe. It grants you what it will.

Frank Herbert
The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.
Frank Herbert
Life is a mask through which the universe expresses itself.
Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
If you focus your awareness only upon your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you.
Frank Herbert
Men always fear things which move by themselves.
Frank Herbert
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
Providence and Manifest Destiny are synonyms often invoked to support arguments based on wishful thinking.
