More From Frank Herbert

This homage has been rendered not to me - for the polish soil is fertile and does not lack better writers than me - but to the polish achievement, the polish genius.
Achievement Doe Genius
Somebody has to go polish the stars, they're looking a little bit dull. somebody has to go polish the stars, for the eagles and starlings and gulls have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn, they say they want new ones we cannot afford. so please get your rags and your polishing jars, somebody has to go polish the stars.

You have to take in the whole picture, and ask, "what is it you want? what kind of world do you want?" so, i have drawings of different cities. those cities have an end goal; they're not just cities. the end goal of those cities is to make things relevant to people that they respond to. there's no other way.
Cities Drawing Goal
In trading with each other cities can't be in too different stages of development, and they can't copy one another. backward cities, or younger cities, or newly forming cities in supply regions, have to develop to a great extent on one another's shoulders. this is one of the terrible things about empires. empires want them only to trade with the empire, which doesn't help them at all. it's just a way of exploiting them.
Cities Want Empires
The way our big cities change sucks. the beauty of cities was that they were edgy, sometimes even a little dangerous. artists, poets, and activists could come and unify and create different kinds of scenes. not just fashion scenes, scenes that were politically active. big cities are getting so high-end oriented, business corporate fashion, fashion not in an artistic sense but in a corporate sense. for me that edgy beauty of cities is lost, wherever you go.

Over the summit, i saw the so-called mono desert lying dreamily silent in the thick, purple light -- a desert of heavy sun-glare beheld from a desert of ice-burnished granite.

There simply is no way to describe the past without lying. our memories are not like fiction. they are fiction.
Memories Lying Past
Really love him, i mean," geilie persisted. "not just to bed him; i know you want that, and he does too. they all do. but do you love him?" did i love him? beyond the urges of the flesh? the hole had the dark anonymity of the confessional, and a soul on the verge of death had no time for lies. "yes," i said, and laid my head back on my knees. it was silent in the hole for some time, and i hovered once more on the verge of sleep, when i heard her speak once more, as though to herself. "so it's possible," she said thoughtfully.
Lying Mean Sleep
Beached under the spumy blooms, we lie sea-sick and fever-dry.
Lying Sea Sick
God lies ahead. i convince myself and constantly repeat to myself that: he depends on us. it is through us that god is achieved.
