More From Frank Herbert

Christ represents originally: 1) men before god; 2) god for men; 3) men to man. similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society. but christ is alienated god and alienated man. god has value only insofar as he represents christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents christ. it is the same with money.

A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. this reservoir can scarcely be other than the subatomic energy which, it is known exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn how to release it and use it for his service. the store is well nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped. there is sufficient in the sun to maintain its output of heat for 15 billion years.
Dream Stars Learning
I think people who share my dreams can enjoy reading my novels. and that's a wonderful thing. i said that myths are like a reservoir of stories, and if i can act as a similar kind of "reservoir," albeit a modest one, that would make me very happy.

The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. the inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. but the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible; and god means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.

We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

In bed that night i invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in new york, and would connect to the reservoir. whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the reservoir of tears had gone up or down, and you could know if new york is in heavy boots.

Unfortunately, most of the major denominations still practice segregation in local churches, hospitals, schools, and other church institutions. it is appalling that the most segregated hour of christian america is eleven o'clock on sunday morning, the same hour when many are standing to sing: "in christ there is no east nor west.

Someone real," i hear myself saying. "someone who never has to pretend, and who i never have to pretend around. someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. someone who knows me better than i know myself. someone i want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. someone i feel like i've known my whole life, even if i haven't.
