Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness, but I don't argue with it - especially as I am rarely in a position to prove that it is mistaken. Negative proof is usually impossible.
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are not potatoes!
Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?
