Quote from Heilein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"

"I sighed. Where do you start explaining when a man's words show there isn't anything he understands about subject, instead is loaded with preceptions that don't fit facts and doesn't even know he has?"
 
-- Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Orb edition, 1997; originally printed in 1966), 163. Note: Quote is accurate and seeming typos portray a "Lunar dialect" Heinlein created for the novel.
