More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no safety this side of the grave
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
From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit.
Robert A. Heinlein
It may take endless wars and unbearable population pressure to force-feed a technology to the point where it can cope with space. In the universe, space travel may be the normal birth pangs of an otherwise dying race. A test. Some races pass, some fail.
Robert A. Heinlein
In this complex world, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the human race is doing and to wherever we are going.
Robert A. Heinlein
All human behavior, all human motivations, all man’s hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind’s tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction.
Robert A. Heinlein
In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone can see a forest fire. Skill lies in sniffing the first smoke.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never frighten a little man. He'll kill you.
Robert A. Heinlein
Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human. What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudointellectual masturbation . . . whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time.
Robert A. Heinlein
Son, the phrase is self-contradictory sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is solemn satisfaction in doing the best you can for eight billion people. Perhaps their lives have no cosmic significance, but they have feelings. They can hurt.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
All cats are not gray after midnight.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can survive anything except Democrats
Robert A. Heinlein
A fool cannot be protected from his folly. If you attempt to do so, you will not only arouse his animosity but also you will be attempting to deprive him of whatever benefit he is capable of deriving from experience. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Robert A. Heinlein
Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is what still goes on when you're not horny.
Robert A. Heinlein
