Quote by Frank Herbert

Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous.

Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous.

Summary

This quote suggests that while beliefs can be easily influenced or distorted, true knowledge possesses a more powerful and potentially dangerous force. Beliefs are subjective and susceptible to manipulation, as individuals can hold different opinions and be swayed by external factors. However, knowledge is seen as a concrete understanding of facts and truths that cannot be easily altered or controlled. It implies that possessing knowledge challenges established belief systems and has the potential to disrupt the status quo by questioning and dismantling false or uninformed notions.
