"Radicals always see matters in terms which are too simple--black and white, good and evil, them and us. By addressing complex matters in that way, they rip open a passage for chaos."
"The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it."
"Never attempt to reason with people who know they are right."
"Power bases are very dangerous because they attract people who are truly insane, people who seek power only for the sake of the power."
"Religion always leads to rhetorical despotism...it feeds deliberately on twisted meanings to discredit opposition."
Frank Herbert - (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986)
