Robert A. Heinlein
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along.
Robert A. Heinlein
In a family argument, if it turns out you are right, apologize at once.
Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance the pot could not hold itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Learning . . . is - also an end in itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
The most important lesson in the writing trade is that any manuscript is improved if you cut away the fat.
