Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.
Robert A. Heinlein
If I had a Boy Scout I could make a fire by rubbing his hind legs together.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal.
Robert A. Heinlein
If an elderly respected expert in a given field tells you that something can be done he is almost certainly right. If an elderly respected expert in a given field tells you that something is impossible, he is almost certainly wrong.
