Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
Ayn Rand is a bloody socialist compared to me.
Robert A. Heinlein
We learned not to waste ammo even on warriors except in self-protection
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
