A Quote by Frank Herbert

The dice cannot read their own spots. — © Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
If there are no spots on a sugar cube then I’ve just put a dice in my tea.
But words is like th spots on dice: no matter how y fumbles em, there's times when they jes wont come.
If you roll dice, you know that the odds are one in six that the dice will come up on a particular side. So you can calculate the risk. But, in the stock market, such computations are bull - you don't even know how many sides the dice have!
I collect dice and I collect coins. I travel the world so I love dice, I always have dice on me. I collect magnets as well.
Not only does God play dice with the universe, He's using loaded dice.
It is certain that I cannot always distinguish my own thoughts from those I read, because what I read becomes the very substance and text of my mind.
I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
We all start out thinking that there is such a thing as perfection and that there's something wrong with us if we settle for less. First we won't eat the food with the brown spots. Then we hate ourselves because we have our own brown spots—pimples or ears that are too big or legs that are too skinny.
Dice have their laws, which the courts of justice cannot undo.
I mean, I understand that because they're disadvantaged that they deserve their own parking spots, but do they have to make them so wide? I never understood how these people were allowed to drive cars but they get these really neat chairs with wheels and they're still not happy, so instead of parking their wheelchairs in the designated spots, they upstage us normal people and get the best parking spots with vehicles that are clearly too sophisticated for them to be handling. Still, you should smile at a cripple, because it's the only bit of happiness they'll ever have.
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
Our minds thus grow in spots; and like grease spots, the spots spread. But we let them spread as little as possible: we keep unaltered as much of our old knowledge, as many of our old prejudices and beliefs, as we can.
God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
The world is the house of the strong. I shall not know until the end what I have lost or won in this place, in this vast gambling den where I have spent more than sixty years, dice box in hand, shaking the dice.
