More From Frank Herbert

What matters deafness of the ear, when the mind hears? the one true deafness, the incurable deafness, is that of the mind.

Even if nobody's singing, just when you talk, you're singing. i'll meet somebody and say, "oh, i'm tone-deaf." i say, "you're not tone-deaf, because if you were tone-deaf you would speak like that. but you're 'oh, i'm tone-deaf.' you already sang a song to me."

I am just as deaf as i am blind. the problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness. deafness is a much worse misfortune. for it means the loss of the most vital stimulus- the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man.

The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses; but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses.

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.

But i was not in the band, because i suffer from the kind of tone deafness that is generally associated with actual deafness

Several people have told me that my inability to suffer fools gladly is one of my main weaknesses.

Our minds, like our bodies, are in continual flux; something is hourly lost, and something acquired.... do not suffer life to stagnate; it will grow muddy for want of motion: commit yourself again to the current of the world.

Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. there is no authentic story.

Compassionate listening is to help the other side suffer less. if we realize that other people are the same people as we are, we are no longer angry at them.
