Robert A. Heinlein słynne cytaty

„Kobiety i koty zawsze będą robić to, co chcą, a mężczyźni i psy powinni się zrelaksować i powoli oswajać z tą myślą.”

Robert A. Heinlein

„Istota ludzka powinna umieć zmieniać pieluszki, zaplanować inwazję, zarżnąć wieprza, sterować statkiem, zaprojektować budynek, napisać sonet, prowadzić księgę rachunkową, zbudować mur, nastawić złamanie, pocieszyć umierającego, dawać rozkazy, przyjmować rozkazy, działać w grupie, działać samemu, rozwiązywać równania, analizować nowe problemy, roztrząsać nawóz, zaprogramować komputer, ugotować smaczny posiłek, walczyć skutecznie, umrzeć bohatersko. Specjalizacja jest dla insektów.”

Robert A. Heinlein

„Nigdy nie odwołuj się do lepszej natury człowieka – być może wcale jej nie ma. Zawsze podkreślaj, że masz na względzie jego interes.”

„Demokracja nie może się sprawdzić. Wszędzie są matematycy, wieśniacy i zwierzęta – tak więc demokracja, teoria oparta na założeniu, że matematycy i wieśniacy są równi, nigdy się nie sprawdza. Mądrości nie można sumować – jej maksimum mierzy się mądrością najbystrzejszego członka danej grupy.”
