Robert A. Heinlein
Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Each generation thinks it invented sex each generation is totally mistaken. Anything along that line today was commonplace both in Pompeii and in Victorian England the differences lie only in the degree of coverup - if any.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man claimed that the more complicated the law the more opportunity for scoundrels.
Robert A. Heinlein
To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
Robert A. Heinlein
A family reunion is an effective form of birth control.

Christ was crucified for preaching without a police permit
Robert A. Heinlein
Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.
Robert A. Heinlein
