The killer looked up as the bullet hit him. He looked as if he were puzzled by some strange occurence, being too freshly dead to be aware of it.

More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.
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
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
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Robert A. Heinlein
I don't know Who is cranking I'm pleased He doesn't stop.

Robert A. Heinlein
The saddest thing about ephemerals was that their little lives rarely held time enough for love.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Analogy is even slipperier than logic.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Logic is a feeble reed, friend. Logic proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein
A fool cannot be protected from his folly. If you attempt to do so, you will not only arouse his animosity but also you will be attempting to deprive him of whatever benefit he is capable of deriving from experience. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity is the only natural capital offense.
Robert A. Heinlein
Another ingredient in a happy marriage: Budget the luxuries first!
Robert A. Heinlein
Certain types of loudmouthism should be a capital offense among decent people.
