| Favourite Heinlein Quotes
I'm sure this has been done to death...but I just spent 3 hours looking for a specific Heinlein quote (unsuccessfully)...and ran across so many beauties in the process.
There are soooo many good ones, I thought it might be fun to hear some of people's favourites. I've got to rule out the "specialization is for insects" not because it's not brilliant, but we've ALL heard that one so many times.
I offer a few of the ones I didn't recall until tonight's search...
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." The Man Who Sold the Moon
"Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often confuses one with the other, or assumes the greater the love the greater the jealousy. In fact, they are almost always incompatible; both at once produce unbearable turmoil." Stranger in a Strange Land
"An elephant. A mouse built to government specifications." Time Enough For Love
"There is no such thing as 'social gambling'. Either you are there to cut the other bloke's heart out and eat it - or you're a sucker. If you don't like this choice - don't gamble." Time Enough for Love |
