Frank Herbert
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
Frank Herbert
Think on it, Chani: the princess will have the name, yet she'll live as less than a concubine - never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine - history will call us wives.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

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
Grief is the price of victory.
Frank Herbert
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.
Frank Herbert
The successful writer listens to himself.
Frank Herbert
There's a lesson in every temptation.
Frank Herbert
There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.
Frank Herbert
