1 " Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. "
― Robert A. Heinlein , Stranger in a Strange Land
2 " Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other. "
3 " If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it. "
4 " If God existed (a question concerning which Jubal maintained a meticulous intellectual neutrality) and if He desired to be worshiped (a proposition which Jubal found inherently improbable but conceivably possible in the dim light of his own ignorance), then (stipulating affirmatively both the above) it nevertheless seemed wildly unlikely to Jubal to the point of reductio ad absurdum that a God potent to shape galaxies would be titillated and swayed by the whoop-te-do nonsense the Fosterites offered Him as "worship. "
5 " Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is in this space that you'll come to remember your spirit. When you're able to transcend an aversion to silence, you'll also transcend many other miseries. And it is in this silence that the remembrance of God will be activated. "
― Wayne W. Dyer , Stranger in a Strange Land
6 " A desire not to butt into other people's business is at least eighty percent of all human wisdom. "
7 " But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil. "
8 " The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen. "
― Shannon L. Alder , Stranger in a Strange Land
9 " Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare. "
― William Blake , Stranger in a Strange Land
10 " Başkalarının işine burnunu sokmamak insanın sahip olabileceği bilgeliğin yüzde seksenidir... kalan yüzde yirmi de pek önemli değildir zaten. "
11 " Bir kaplanın sırtında yolculuk etmenin en önemli kuralı, kulaklarını asla bırakmamaktır. "
12 " I do not know where to go, but I have been on the road. "
― Miyakahi Hayao , Stranger in a Strange Land
13 " Suffering introduces a man to his soul. "
― Lailah Gifty Akita , Stranger in a Strange Land
14 " Happiness is heaven in human heart. "
15 " The worst that can possibly have happened to him is death and that we are all in for---if not this morning, then in days, or weeks, or years at most. "
16 " Death isn't funny." "Then why are there so many jokes about death? Jill, with us — us humans — death is so sad that we must laugh at it. "
17 " Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness. "
18 " Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along. "
19 " It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything--obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence. "
20 " Churches thrive on martyrdom and persecution. "
