Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert

Religions often partake of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future.
Frank Herbert

The judgmental precedents of law function that way, littering your path with dead ends. Be warned. Understand nothing. All comprehension is temporary.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
Frank Herbert
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
Frank Herbert
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
Frank Herbert
Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.
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
