Heinlein on SI or A quick search reveals... There is one active poster whose profile contains a Heinlein quote, the quote is "I am only an egg." In context the speaker is Michael Valentine Smith, newly arrived on Earth. He is the hospital under the care of Dr. Nelson and he is being visited by Secretary General Douglas...
