More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
The greatest fallacy of democracy is that everyone's opinion is worth the same.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is better to copulate than never.
Robert A. Heinlein
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein
In handling a stinging insect, move very slowly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
Robert A. Heinlein
Many short-sighted fools think that going to the Moon was just a stunt. But the astronauts knew the meaning of what they were doing, as is shown by Neil Armstrong's first words in stepping down onto the soil of Luna: One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Robert A. Heinlein
A zygote is a gamete's way of producing more gametes. This may be the purpose of the universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
Expertise in one field does not carry over into other fields. But experts often think so. The narrower their field of knowledge the more likely they are to think so.
Robert A. Heinlein
The whole principle (censorship) is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can survive anything except Democrats
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
I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes be wrong - but the man who refuses to take sides must always be wrong.
Robert A. Heinlein
