Robert A. Heinlein
The commonest weakness of our race is our ability to rationalize our most selfish purposes.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic.

To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
Robert A. Heinlein
