Free will is a golden thread running through the frozen matrix of fixed events.
Robert A. Heinlein
Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
Self awareness is NOT just a bunch of amino acids bumping together.
