I have to agree. Heinlein is one of my favorites as well. I need to
get that collection of quotes. Sometimes I go back and re-read all of
the books just to enjoy "listening" to Laz talk. Awesome reading.

One of my personal favorites...TANSTAAFL... there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. I'm amazed in this day of computer acronyms that tanstaafl doesn't get much use. I was equally amazed when I found "grok" in the dictionary. That Heinlein, what a genius. Great books to take on a hike btw.... just to keep it on topic.
