Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
The greatest productive force is human selfishness.
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
Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few.
Robert A. Heinlein
We came here for a small, informal meeting. We find you've turned it into a circus. Well, if you're going to have a circus, you've got to have elephants.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
A family reunion is an effective form of birth control.
