More quotes by 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
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

Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance is not sufficient to explain random chance. ~Jubal Harshaw

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
Sovereign, like love, means anything you want it to mean it's a word in dictionary between sober and sozzled.
Robert A. Heinlein
Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional you have to let them know who’s boss.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen die if they stay in one place.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?
Robert A. Heinlein
