More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
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
The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who love Nature while deploring the artificialities with which Man has spoiled Nature.' The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of Nature : but beavers and their dams are.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Only a sadistic scoundrel-or a fool-tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nowhere on Earth was sex so vigorously suppressed as in America--and nowhere else was there such a deep interest in it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
The stars incline, but do not impel.
Robert A. Heinlein
As it says in Bible, God fights on side of heaviest artillery.
Robert A. Heinlein
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing uses up alcohol faster than political argument.
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Self awareness is NOT just a bunch of amino acids bumping together.
Robert A. Heinlein
