Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Beware! The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.

Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains.
Frank Herbert
The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called spannungsbogen -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.
Frank Herbert
What is the son but an extension of the father?
Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert
