This?

Favorite quote of mine, from any book. Heinlein, of all people, at that:


"I think you have missed the most alarming symptom of all. This one I shall tell you. But go back and search for it. Examine it. Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms as you have named... But a *dying* culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than a riot. "

This is *us?* With all this?

Feh.
Trying to make me feel guilty, aren'tcha?

One of my favorites:

Here's one with some strange results... I started out with your mama, but changed it to your mother. What's up with some of these?

It's called "play". It's a sign of intelligence. If we can't play with our tools and have a laugh we are in deep deep trouble.

P.S. Heinlein is a good source of cheap quotes, most of which are just plain wrong. Many of which are from embarrassingly bad books filled with cheap Libertarian thinking and overt sexism.
