Robert A. Heinlein
Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
Robert A. Heinlein
Patriotism is not sentimental nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues. Patriotism is as necessary a part of man's evolutionary equipment as are his eyes, as useful to the race as eyes are to the individual.
Robert A. Heinlein
We each have a moral obligation to conserve and preserve beauty in this world there is none to waste.
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
Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.
