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
I have never been able to see life as anything but a vast complicated practical joke, and it's better to laugh than cry.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Pain is the basic mechanism built into us by millions of years of evolution which safeguards us by warning when something threatens our survival.
Robert A. Heinlein
You're in bad shape when your emotions force you into acts which you know are foolish.
Robert A. Heinlein
Faith is intellectual laziness.
Robert A. Heinlein
Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal.
