Robert A. Heinlein
“Autobiography is usually honest but it is never truthful.”
Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

Author Harold Phifer
“One other thing—she was always armed. Ossie May talked about her gun even more than she bragged about her cooking. Out of nowhere, she took me to the gun range. She finished one clip with her right hand then unloaded the other clip with her left hand. I certainly got the message. She was not to be messed with or messed over. I was scared straight by this woman.”
Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar
