“Full moon calls thee--  Shai-hulud shall thou see;  Red the night, dusky sky,  Bloody death didst thou die.  We pray to a moon: she is round--  Luck with us will then abound,  What we seek for shall be found  In the land of solid ground.”

Frank Herbert

“She thought of the boy’s features as an exquisite distillation out of random patterns—endless queues of happenstance meeting at this nexus.”

Frank Herbert

“Do you wrestle with dreams? Do you contend with shadows? Do you move in a kind of sleep? Time has slipped away. Your life is stolen. You tarried with trifles, Victim of your folly.”

Frank Herbert

“To accept a little death is worse than death itself.”

Frank Herbert

“When we encounter personal problems, those things most deeply personal are the most difficult to bring out for our logic to scan.”

Frank Herbert

“The meeting between ignorance and knowledge, between brutality and culture—it begins in the dignity with which we treat our dead.”

Frank Herbert

“My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.”

Frank Herbert

“His plan has good points and bad points...as any plan would at this stage. A plan depends as much upon execution as it does upon concept.”

Frank Herbert
