Heinlein Quote

One of my coworkers is reading through some books by Robert Heinlien and while I'm not really a big fan of his writings, he's nontheless a brilliant author and I wanted to share this quote:
"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 and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
-- Robert A. Heinlein

The original novel "Starship Troopers" was jsut brilliant, the movie just sucks.
Again, I didn't really like the book because of the social setup and the mindset of the human characters, but that was part of the point.
