  1. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    The worst thing about sex is that we use it to hurt each other. It ought never to hurt; it should bring happiness, or at least, pleasure.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Stranger in a Strange Land, ch. 33 [Jubal] (1961; 1991 ed.)

  2. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    Politics is just a name for the way we get things done … without fighting. We dicker and compromise and everybody thinks he has received a raw deal, but somehow after a tedious amount of talk we come up with some jury-rigged way to do it without getting anybody’s head bashed in. That’s politics.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Podkayne of Mars, ch. 4 [Tom Fries], Worlds of IF magazine (1962-11)
