Robert A. Heinlein
Analogy is even slipperier than logic.
Robert A. Heinlein
Magic is not science, it is a collection of ways to do things ways that work but often we don't know why.
Robert A. Heinlein
Son, the phrase is self-contradictory sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy is four wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are not potatoes!
