Frank Herbert
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear…
And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear is gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
“Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.”
“The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria”
“There’s no secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves”
“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”
“We accept too damned many things on the explanations of people who could have good reasons for lying”
“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.”
“Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.”
“To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.”
“How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him.”
“Question: Who governs the governors? Answer: Entropy”
“Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it”
“He who can destroy a thing, can control a thing.”
“Understanding requires words. Some things cannot be reduced to words. There are things that can only be experienced wordlessly… The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are supreme.”
“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.”
“Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it’s a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.”
“Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.”
“To attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing the Darkness. It cannot be.”
“Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?”
