More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
I'm afraid of coaching, of writer's classes, of writer's magazines, of books on how to write. They give me centipede trouble - you know the yarn about the centipede who was asked how he managed all his feet? He tried to answer, stopped to think about it, and was never able to walk another step.

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
- I'm so busy doing what I must do that I don't have time for what I ought to do... and I never get a chance to do what I want to do! - Son, that's universal. The way to keep that recipe from killing you is occasionally to do what you want to do anyhow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Die trying is the proudest human thing.
Robert A. Heinlein
That old saw about the early bird just proves that the worm should have stayed in bed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never tease an old dog he might have one bite left.
Robert A. Heinlein
His older self had taught his younger self a language which the older self knew because the younger self, after being taught, grew up to be the older self and was, therefore, capable of teaching.
Robert A. Heinlein
A monarch's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright.
Robert A. Heinlein
Only a sadistic scoundrel-or a fool-tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
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
