There is no way that writers ...

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized. Or even cured.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Random chance was not a suffi...

Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance; the pot could not hold itself.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

If I had found out anything, ...

If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

I believe in - I am proud to ...

I believe in - I am proud to belong to - the United States.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Some logics get nervous break...

Some logics get nervous breakdowns. Overloaded phone system behaves like frightened child. Mike did not have upsets, acquired sense of humor instead. Low one. If he were a man, you wouldn't dare stoop over. His idea of thigh-slapper would be to dump you out of bed — or put itch powder in pressure suit.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

It was equally imperative tha...

It was equally imperative that this chain of reactions should always tend to dampen, to die out. It must not build up, or the uranium mass would explode within a time interval too short to be measured by any means whatsoever. Nor would there be anyone left to measure it.

In this complex world, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the human race is doing and to wherever we are going.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Liberty is never unalienable,...

Liberty is never unalienable, it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Stupidity cannot be cured wit...

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

The most noble fate a man can...

The most noble fate a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war's desolation.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Men rarely if ever dream up a...

Men rarely if ever dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

How anybody expects a man to ...

How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show - it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Age does not bring wisdom... ...

Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

A community where everyone is...

A community where everyone is a ruthless murderer, with handy access to death-dealing devices, is a very polite community.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Each generation thinks it inv...

Each generation thinks it invented sex; each generation is totally mistaken. Anything along that line today was commonplace both in Pompeii and in Victorian England; the differences lie only in the degree of coverup - if any.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

God is omnipotent, omniscient...

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent - it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

When the need arises - and it...

When the need arises - and it does - you must be able to shoot your own dog. Don't farm it out — that doesn't make it nicer, it makes it worse.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

All societies are based on ru...

All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplusage, excrescence, adornment, luxury, or folly which can - and must - be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a "perfect society" on any foundation other than "Women and children first!" is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly - and no doubt will keep trying.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

At one time kings were anoint...

At one time kings were anointed by Deity, so the problem was to see to it that Deity chose the right candidate. In this age the myth is "the will of the people" ... but the problem changes only superficially.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

A critic is a man who creates...

A critic is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased, he hates all creative people equally.
