    Robert A. Heinlein
    “She taught me to love by loving me, and I learned—rather slowly; I wasn’t too good a pupil, being set in my ways and lacking her natural talent. But I did learn. Learned that supreme happiness lies in wanting to keep another person safe and warm and happy, and being privileged to try.”

    Robert A. Heinlein
    “It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.”

    Robert A. Heinlein
    “Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick.

For women, “equality” is a disaster.”

    Alexander Pushkin
    “I have outlasted all desire,
    My dreams and I have grown apart;
    My grief alone is left entire,
    The gleamings of an empty heart.

    The storms of ruthless dispensation
    Have struck my flowery garland numb,
    I live in lonely desolation
    And wonder when my end will come.

    Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted
    By tardy winter's whistling chill,
    A single leaf which has outlasted
    Its season will be trembling still.”
    Alexander Pushkin

In spite of the tempest raging within me, I walked the night path calmly.”
