Frank Herbert and his masterful quotations

[erasmus]

“Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife--chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's compete because it's ended here.'”

I would like to hear some people's thoughts on this quote. Put it into any context you would like, and don't let the fictional setting throw you. I want to see what it might mean to say something similar about a culture that exists by similar principles - Especially your own. :)

I will be posting more Frank Herbert quotes as things proceed.

“Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?” - Frank Herbert

Glad to see that i have company here =)

Frank Herbert was a genius and the entire Dune universe is beyond anything I could ever hope to achieve in my writing.

I am not familiar with his works - but I think I want to be. He sounds very profound!

@Jenny and Hope: Check out his Wikiquote page (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dune#Frank_Herbert_novels), for starters. It'll whet your appetite for the real thing.
