  1. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. […] This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Friday, ch. 23 [Boss] (1983)
