More Wisdom from Uncle Bob

 Heinlein has such WONDERFUL quotes!! :D

"Copulation is spiritual in essence - or it is merely friendly exercise. On second thought, strike out 'merely'. Copulation is not 'merely' - even when it is just a happy passtime for two strangers. But copulation at it's spiritual best is so much more than physical coupling that it is different in kind as well as degree..."

"Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long before he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money - but long on hugs."

"The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person  had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just."

And the one my user pic is from:

"Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks."

And now, two more that make me giggle:

"Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of - but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards."
"A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits."
