More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Decency is not news it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. Heinlein
The bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids aren’t even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madman’s conception of a giant intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please.
Robert A. Heinlein
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. Heinlein
You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever.
Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up.
Robert A. Heinlein
The killer looked up as the bullet hit him. He looked as if he were puzzled by some strange occurence, being too freshly dead to be aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
Robert A. Heinlein
When he kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe, and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you ... it's overwhelming.
Robert A. Heinlein
I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
Robert A. Heinlein
I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be - instead of the tawdry, lousy fouled-up mess it is.
Robert A. Heinlein
In a society in which it is a moral offense to be different from your neighbor your only escape is to never let them find out.
Robert A. Heinlein
The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.
Robert A. Heinlein
Audacity, always audacity - soundest principal of strategy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
