Robert A. Heinlein
If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.
Robert A. Heinlein
I don't see why human people make such a heavy trip out of sex. It isn't anything complex, it is simply the best thing in life, even better than food.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.
Robert A. Heinlein
