Frank Herbert
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
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
But it's well known that repression makes a religion flourish.
Frank Herbert
We are generalists. You can't draw neat lines around planet-wide problems. Planetology is a cut-and-fit science.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal.
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
To see eternity was to be exposed to eternity's whims, oppressed by endless dimensions.
Frank Herbert
Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount.
Frank Herbert
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
Frank Herbert
There exists a limit to the force even the most powerful may apply without destroying themselves. Judging this limit is the true artistry of government. Misuse of power is the fatal sin.
Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
Frank Herbert
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
Frank Herbert
Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.
Frank Herbert
