Robert A. Heinlein
Premenstrual Syndrome: Just before their periods women behave the way men do all the time.
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
Widows are far better than brides. They don't tell, they won't yell, they don't swell, they rarely smell, and they're grateful as hell.
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
Always store beer in a dark place.

Robert A. Heinlein
A skunk is better company than a person who prides himself on being 'frank'.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Some people insist that mediocre is better than best. They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.
Robert A. Heinlein
In this complex world, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the human race is doing and to wherever we are going.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
We learned not to waste ammo even on warriors except in self-protection
Robert A. Heinlein
I believe in - I am proud to belong to - the United States.
Robert A. Heinlein
You're in bad shape when your emotions force you into acts which you know are foolish.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never appeal to a man's 'better nature.' He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
Robert A. Heinlein
