Frank Herbert, Jr., was a famous American writer, known for science fiction novels like Dune, which was awarded the first Nebula for Best Novel. He also received numerous other awards. Frank Herbert was born on October 8, 1920.

He once wrote: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Read more quotations from Frank Herbert.
