Robert A. Heinlein
Of all the strange 'crimes' that human beings have legislated out of nothing, 'blasphemy' is the most amazing -- with 'obscenity' and 'indecent exposure' fighting it out for second and third place.
Robert A. Heinlein
The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
