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
Ayn Rand is a bloody socialist compared to me.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Liberty is never unalienable, it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes.
Robert A. Heinlein
Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human.

Robert A. Heinlein
You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
