“Liberty and Freedom are complex concepts. They go back to religious ideas of Free Will and are related to the Ruler Mystique implicit in absolute monarchs. Without absolute monarchs patterned after the Old Gods and ruling by the grace of a belief in religious indulgence, Liberty and Freedom would never have gained their present meaning. These ideals owe their very existence to past examples of oppression. And the forces that maintain such ideas will erode unless renewed by dramatic teaching or new oppressions. This is the most basic key to my life.”

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”
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“Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.”
Frank Herbert“If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.”
Frank Herbert“Truth suffers from too much analysis.”
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. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert“The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.”
Frank Herbert“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.”
Frank Herbert“It could be a work of art among vendettas”
Frank Herbert“There will be sadness," Alia intoned. "I remind you that all things are but beginning, forever beginning. Worlds wait to be conquered. Some within the sound of my voice will attain exalted destinies. You will sneer at the past, forgetting what I tell you now: within all differences there is unity.”
