*Time Enough for Love* is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein’s famous Future History series. Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries. *Time Enough for Love* is his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical (for 1946) ideas on sexual freedom. His use of slang, technical jargon, sharp wit, and clever understatement lend this story a texture and authority that seems the very tone of things to come.

    Книга примерно в два раза длиннее, чем должна быть.
    В целом всё хорошо, потому что это Хайнлайн, но я ожидал большего.
    По большому счёту книга — сборник афоризмов и поучительных историй, иногда интересных, но почти никогда по-настоящему оригинальных.

      David did not realize that he had jumped from the frying pan into the fire; the sadism of petty officers is a mild hit-or-miss thing compared with the calculated horrors visited on new cadets-"plebes"-by cadets of the senior classes, especially by the seniormost, the first classmen, who were walking delegates of Lucifer in that organized hell.

        "Lazarus, if I could find a way to entice you into reminiscing about your grandfather-or about anything-I'm certain we could extract from such record endless things you have learned, important things-whether you choose to call them wisdom or not. In the last ten minutes you have stated half a dozen basic truths, or rules for living-call them what you will-apparently without trying."

        "Such as?"

        "Oh, for example, that most people learn only by experience-"

        "Correction. Most people won't learn even by experience, Ira. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

          Although long-life can be a burden, mostly it is a blessing. It gives time enough to learn, time enough to think, time enough not to hurry, time enough for love.
