More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
I'm afraid of coaching, of writer's classes, of writer's magazines, of books on how to write. They give me centipede trouble - you know the yarn about the centipede who was asked how he managed all his feet? He tried to answer, stopped to think about it, and was never able to walk another step.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been able to see life as anything but a vast complicated practical joke, and it's better to laugh than cry.
Robert A. Heinlein
To be matter-of-fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.
Robert A. Heinlein
Son, the phrase is self-contradictory sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed man need not fight.
Robert A. Heinlein
Paymasters come in only two sizes: one sort shows you where the book says that you can't have what you've got coming to you the second sort digs through the book until he finds a paragraph that lets you have what you need even if you don't rate it.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
A motion to adjourn is always in order.
