Justice required resort to law and that could be a fickle mistress, subject always to the whims and prejudices of those who administered the laws  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Justice? Who asks for justice? We make our own justice... Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them  (Frank Herbert Quotes) I don’t speak... I operate a machine called language. It creaks and groans, but is mine own  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Law always chooses sides on the basis of enforcement power. Morality and legal niceties have little to do with it when the real question is: Who has the clout?  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we do to each other  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum  (Frank Herbert Quotes) A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The joy of living, its beauty, is all bound up in the fact that life can surprise you  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Power tends to isolate those who hold too much of it. Eventually, they lose touch with reality... and fall  (Frank Herbert Quotes) We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The best prophets lead you up to the curtain and let you peer through for yourself  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Words can carry any burden we wish. All that’s required is agreement and a tradition upon which to build  (Frank Herbert Quotes) When a creature has developed into one thing, he will choose death rather than change into his opposite  (Frank Herbert Quotes) It is not the present which unfluences the future, thou fool, but the future which forms the present. You have it all backward. Since the future is set, an unfolding of events which will assure that future is fixed and inevitable  (Frank Herbert Quotes) If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They’re a kind of job insurance  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?  (Frank Herbert Quotes) In politics, the tripod is he most unstable of all structures. It’s be bad enough without the complication of a feudal trade culture which turns its back on most science  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic  (Frank Herbert Quotes) A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience  (Frank Herbert Quotes) The writing of history is largely a process of diversion. Most historical accounts distract attention from the secret influences behind great events  (Frank Herbert Quotes) Peace for any prolonged period of time is impossible. Humans have a natural thirst for chaos and war is the most readily available form of chaos  (Frank Herbert Quotes)
