A Quote by Robert A. Heinlein
He had learned that close-held secrets could often be cracked by going all the way to the top and there making himself unbearably unpleasant. He knew that such twisting of the tiger's tail was dangerous, for he understood the psychopathology of great power.

The novel won the prestigious Hugo Award in 1962 and became the first science fiction book to appear on The New York Times bestseller list. In 2012, the Library of Congress recognized the novel as one of the “Books that Shaped America.”
