Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.
Robert A. Heinlein
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay and claims a halo for his dishonesty.
Robert A. Heinlein
