More quotes by Frank Herbert
Providence and Manifest Destiny are synonyms often invoked to support arguments based on wishful thinking.
Frank Herbert
There's a lesson in every temptation.
Frank Herbert
If there is a difference between what is said and what is done, only a fool believes what was said.
Frank Herbert
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.
Frank Herbert
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
One must cast off old agonies as a snake casts off its skin--only to grow a new set and accept all of their limitations.
Frank Herbert
The flesh surrenders itself. Eternity takes back its own. Our bodies stirred these waters briefly, danced with a certain intoxication before the love of life and self, dealt with a few strange ideas, then submitted to the instruments of Time. What can we say of this? I occurred. I am not...yet, I occurred.
Frank Herbert
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
Intelligence takes chances with limited data in an arena where mistakes are not only possible but also necessary.
Frank Herbert
Hope clouds observation.
Frank Herbert
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert
The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
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
Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
Frank Herbert
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
Frank Herbert
It was mostly sweet, he whispered, and you were the sweetest of all.
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
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
