Today I have a quote from Robert Heinlein (1907-1988) an American science-fiction author. It was originally in his book “Stranger in a Strange Land” (1961) and a variant of it was used again in “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls” (1985). I find it interesting (and quite odd) that such a lovely quote could come from a science fiction novel! What do you think?
“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
Why not print the quote and frame it for your spouse for Valentine’s Day? An easy, cheap DIY gift!
