More quotes by Frank Herbert
Death makes a prophet's voice louder.
Frank Herbert
What is the son but an extension of the father?
Frank Herbert
The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief.
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
Justice belongs to those who claim it, but let the claimant beware lest he create new injustice by his claim and thus set the bloody pendulum of revenge into its inexorable motion
Frank Herbert
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
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
Ecology is often confused with environmentalism, while in fact, environmentalism often leaves out the fact that people, too, can be a legitimate part of an ecosystem.
Frank Herbert
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.
Frank Herbert
The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door.
Frank Herbert
Law is the ultimate science.
Frank Herbert
The most important survival ability for any life form is the ability to change.
Frank Herbert
The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.
Frank Herbert
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgement of your existence.
Frank Herbert
People don't vote. Instinct tells them it's useless.
Frank Herbert
. . . is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be.
Frank Herbert
The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
Frank Herbert
