With eternity to draw on there...

With eternity to draw on there could be no reason for hurrying - 'hurry' was not a concept in Martian.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

His older self had taught his ...

His older self had taught his younger self a language which the older self knew because the younger self, after being taught, grew up to be the older self and was, therefore, capable of teaching.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

It would take centuries and he must grow and grow and grow, but he was in no hurry--he grokked that Eternity and the ever-beautifully-changing Now were identical.

Then I glanced at the ring on ...

Then I glanced at the ring on my finger. The Snake That Eats Its Own Tail, Forever and Ever. I know where I came fromЂ'but where did all you zombies come from? I felt a headache coming on, but a headache powder is one thing I do not take. I did onceЂ'and you all went away. So I crawled into bed and whistled out the light. You aren't really there at all. There isn't anybody but meЂ'JaneЂ'here alone in the dark. I miss you dreadfully!

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.

It is impossible for anyone to be responsible for another person's behavior. The most you or any leader can do is to encourage each one to be responsible for himself.

Self awareness is NOT just a bunch of amino acids bumping together.

Correct morality can only be derived from what man is Ђ' not from what do-gooders and well-meaning aunt Nellies would like him to be.

Logic is a feeble reed, friend. 'Logic' proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.

Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.

Does history record any case in which the majority was right?

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

History does not record anywhe...

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Your enemy is never a villain ...

Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate Ђ' and quickly.

Secrecy begets tyranny.

English is the largest of human tongues, with several times the vocabulary of the second largest language -- this alone made it inevitable that English would eventually become, as it did, the lingua franca of this planet, for it is thereby the richest and most flexible -- despite its barbaric accretions . . . or, I should say, because of its barbaric accretions. English swallows up anything that comes its way, makes English out of it.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Art is the process of evoking ...

Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human. What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudointellectual masturbation . . . whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time.

Stinky says women should be obscene but not heard.

And suddenly I knew I was people and could not stop laughing.
