Robert A. Heinlein
“I tried to dig out of the computer a call directory for Luna. But it was still sulking. I could not get it to list its own directory. So I tried some test problems on it. It insisted that 2 + 2 = 3.99999999999999999999999.... When I tried to get it to admit that 4 = 2 + 2, it became angry and claimed that 4 = 3.141592653589793238462643383279... So I gave up.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls

“Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.”
Steve Irwin

“A monarch’s neck should always have a noose around it—it keeps him upright.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls

Robert A. Heinlein
“Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional; you have to let them know who’s boss.”
Robert A. Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls

Lois McMaster Bujold
“I've always thought tests are a gift. And great tests are a great gift. To fail the test is a misfortune. But to refuse the test is to refuse the gift, and something worse, more irrevocable, than misfortune.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, Shards of Honour
