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.

More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Have you ever noticed how much they look like orchids? lovely!
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are expendable women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on ... as long as the women and children are saved.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nor would anybody suspect. If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself till I met a computer with a sense of humor.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been able to see life as anything but a vast complicated practical joke, and it's better to laugh than cry.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo.
Robert A. Heinlein
The saddest thing about ephemerals was that their little lives rarely held time enough for love.
Robert A. Heinlein
Aside from a cold appreciation of my own genius I felt that I was a modest man.
Robert A. Heinlein
Like every living thing its prime characteristic is a blind, unreasoned instinct to survive.
Robert A. Heinlein
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most people who sneer at technology would starve to death if the engineering infrastructure were removed.
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never pick up a stray kitten . . . unless you've already made up your mind to be owned by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein
I did the only really brave thing I have ever done in my life: I inched forward.
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
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
Most neuroses and some psychoses can be traced to the unnecessary and unhealthy habit of daily wallowing in the troubles and sins of five billion strangers.
Robert A. Heinlein
I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
