Robert A. Heinlein Quote

Mike is our Prometheus — but that's all. Mike keeps emphazing this. Thou art God, I am God, he is God — all that groks. Mike is a man like the rest of us. A superior man admittedly — a lesser man taught the things the Martians know, might have set himself up as a pipsqueak god. Mike is above that temptation. Prometheus… but that is all.

Of Michael (archangel). In Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) Part V : His Happy Destiny
