“If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

“A desire not to butt into other people's business is at least eighty percent of all human wisdom.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert A. Heinlein
“My dear, I used to think I was serving humanity . . . and I pleasured in the thought. Then I discovered that humanity does not want to be served; on the contrary it resents any attempt to serve it. So now I do what pleases myself.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert A. Heinlein
“It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything--obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert A. Heinlein
“I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
