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.
-Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

@alexink I could only remember it vaguely and laughed when I found it again: βOf course itβs Heinleinβ

@alexink heβs one of my faves. also loving the idea of a dedicated quotes book. I save quotes in about 100 different places.

@alexink @annie I also had a quote book years ago that I filled, but got out of the habit. Thanks for the reminder to get back into it!
