More From Robert A. Heinlein

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
We will freedom for freedom’s sake, in and through particular circumstances. and in thus willing freedom, we discover that it depends entirely upon the freedom of others and that the freedom of others depends upon our own. obviously, freedom as the definition of a man does not depend upon others, but as soon as there is a commitment, i am obliged to will the liberty of others at the same time as my own. i cannot make liberty my aim unless i make that of others equally my aim.
Commitment Liberty Doe
The history of humanity is the history of human freedom...freedom is not, as engels thought, "the recognition of necessity." freedom is the opposite of necessity. freedom is necessity overcome. progress is, in essence, the progress of human freedom. yes, and after all, life itself is freedom. the evolution of life is the evolution of freedom.

Every moment instructs, and every object; for wisdom is infused into every form. it has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence until after long time.

The essence of poetry is invention; such invention as, by producing something unexpected, surprises and delights.

We were brought up in the school that teaches: you do what the script tells you. deliver the goods without comment. live it-do it-or shut up. after all, the writer is what's important. if the script is good and you don't get in its way, it will come off okay. i never discussed a script with spence [spencer tracy]; we just did it. the same with hank [henry fonda] in on golden pond. naturally and unconsciously we joined into what i call a musical necessity-the chemistry that brings out the essence of the characters and the work.
