Magic is not science, it is a collection of ways to do things ways that work but often we don't know why.

My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.

Around the time of the Terran...

Around the time of the Terran Caesar Augustus, a Martian artist had been composing a work of art. It could have been called a poem, a musical opus, or a philosophical treatise; it was a series of emotions arranged in tragic, logical necessity. Since it could be experienced by a human only in the sense in which a man blind from birth might have a sunset explained to him, it does not matter which category it be assigned.

Morals - all correct moral la...

Morals - all correct moral laws - derive from the instinct to survive. Moral behavior is survival behavior above the individual level.

Decency is not news; it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.

My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up.

Pain is the basic mechanism built into us by millions of years of evolution which safeguards us by warning when something threatens our survival.

I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much . . . because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting.

History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis.

A handy short definition of almost all science fiction might read: realistic speculation about possible future events, based solidly on adequate knowledge of the real world, past and present, and on a thorough understanding of the nature and significance of the scientific method.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

The future is better than the...

The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

All human behavior, all human...

All human behavior, all human motivations, all man’s hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind’s tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction.

It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code... obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.

On the steps of the Federal Building we ran into Carmencita Ibanez, a classmate of ours and one of the nice things about being a member of a race with two sexes.

It may take endless wars and unbearable population pressure to force-feed a technology to the point where it can cope with space. In the universe, space travel may be the normal birth pangs of an otherwise dying race. A test. Some races pass, some fail.

The bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids aren’t even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madman’s conception of a giant intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites; they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive.

If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people. -- Lazarus Long.

The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.
