Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.

Robert A. Heinlein

Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Tilting at windmills hurts you more than the windmills.

Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most neuroses and some psychoses can be traced to the unnecessary and unhealthy habit of daily wallowing in the troubles and sins of five billion strangers.
Robert A. Heinlein
You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Peace is a condition in which no civilian pays any attention to military casualties which do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence-unless that civilian is a close relative of one of the casualties. But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.
Robert A. Heinlein
The capacity of the human mind for swallowing nonsense and spewing it forth in violent and repressive action has never yet been plumbed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Abstract knowledge is always useful, sooner or later.
Robert A. Heinlein
In a society in which it is a moral offense to be different from your neighbor your only escape is to never let them find out.
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.
