Awakening of a dream...
“Always listen to
experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.”
― Robert A.
Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
“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.”
“A human being
should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a
ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a
bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve
equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a
tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for
insects.”
“The most
preposterous notion that Homo sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God
of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine
adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes
petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without
a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest,
largest, and least productive industry in all history.”
“May you live as
long as you wish and love as long as you live.”
― Robert A.
Heinlein
