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.

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

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.

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

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

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.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Have you ever noticed how much they look like orchids? lovely!

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

The more you love, the more y...

The more you love, the more you can love--and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

I believe that this hairless ...

I believe that this hairless embryo with the aching, oversize brain case and the opposable thumb, this animal barely up from the apes, will endure --will endure longer than his home planet, will spread out to the other planets, to the stars, and beyond, carrying with him his honesty, his insatiable curiosity, his unlimited courage --and his noble essential decency. This I believe with all my heart.

The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.

Luck is a tag given by the mediocre to account for the accomplishments of genius.

Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

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 Heinlein 746 quotes

Customs tell a man who he is,...

Customs tell a man who he is, where he belongs, what he must do. Better illogical customs than none; men cannot live together without them.

Once you get to earth orbit, you're halfway to anywhere in the solar system.

Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.

The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.

Butterflies are not insects,' Captain John Sterling said soberly. 'They are self-propelled flowers.

But I contend that the disgusting behavior of many of their alleged 'holy men' relieves us of any intellectual obligation to take the stuff seriously. No amount of sanctimonious rationalization can make such behavior anything but pathological.
