Frank Herbert
What does a mirror look at?
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 dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
The clear and safe path leads evermore into stagnation
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
Frank Herbert
Never attempt to reason with people who know they are right!
Frank Herbert
Emotions are the curse of logic.
Frank Herbert
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
Frank Herbert
The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.
Frank Herbert
Reason is the first victim of strong emotion.
Frank Herbert
Demagogues are so easy to identify. They gesture a lot and speak with pulpit rhythms, using words that ring of religious fervour and god-fearing sincerity. Sincerity with nothing behind it takes so much practice. The practice can always be detected. Repetition. Great attempts to keep your attention on words.
Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert
Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don't let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.
Frank Herbert
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
