Robert A. Heinlein
From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit.
Robert A. Heinlein
I think the major problem in growing up is to become sophisticated without becoming cynical.

A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
