Robert A. Heinlein
The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Boats and ships are female because they are beautiful, lovable, expensive and unpredictable.
Robert A. Heinlein
Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.
Robert A. Heinlein
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity is the only natural capital offense.
Robert A. Heinlein
A monarch's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man claimed that the more complicated the law the more opportunity for scoundrels.
