Frank Herbert

“People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.”

Frank Herbert

“TO THE LADY JESSICA- May this place give you as much pleasure as it has given me. Please permit the room to convey a lesson we learned from the same teachers: the proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.  My kindest wishes, MARGOT LADY FENRING”

Frank Herbert

“This Duke was concerned more over the men than he was over the spice. He risked his own life and that of his son to save the men. He passed off the loss of a spice crawler with a gesture.

Against his own will and all previous judgments, Kynes admitted to himself: I like this Duke.”

Frank Herbert

“The man without emotions is the one to fear.”

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

“Feints within feints within feints.”

Frank Herbert

“Knowing where the trap is—that's the first step in evading it.”
