Robert A. Heinlein
“I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

Robert A. Heinlein
“A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as ‘state’ and ‘society’ and ‘government’ have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame… as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world…aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure.

“My point is that one person is responsible. Always. [...] In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

Lauren Oliver
“I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds; they repair the broken skin.”
Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium

“I never learned from a man who agreed with me.”
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
“One might define adulthood as the age at which a person learns that he must die ...and accepts his sentence undismayed.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
