More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
It is better to copulate than never.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy is a poor system of government at best the only thing that can honestly be said in its favor is that it is eight times as good as any other method the human race has ever tried.
Robert A. Heinlein
Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
Robert A. Heinlein
Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative.
Robert A. Heinlein
A girl's name ending in 'a' - that always suggests a 'C' cup.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Robert A. Heinlein
A zygote is a gamete's way of producing more gametes. This may be the purpose of the universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
Premenstrual Syndrome: Just before their periods women behave the way men do all the time.
Robert A. Heinlein
The ordinary bloke will not voluntarily pay for art that leaves him unmoved--if he does pay for it, the money has to be conned out of him, by taxes and such.
Robert A. Heinlein
Learning . . . is - also an end in itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
One might define adulthood as the age at which a person learns that he must die ...and accepts his sentence undismayed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you if you don't bet you can't win.
Robert A. Heinlein
He never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nowhere on Earth was sex so vigorously suppressed as in America--and nowhere else was there such a deep interest in it.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
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
Evolution is a process that never stops. Baboons who fail to exhibit moral behavior do not survive they wind up as meat for leopards.
Robert A. Heinlein
Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
Robert A. Heinlein
