“Who is more real? Homer or Ulysses? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Burroughs or Tarzan?”
L’Envoi Chapter in The Number of the Beast, by Robert A. Heinlein

This tattoo is on Sasha:

Robert Heinlein is by far my favorite author. His works have affected my feelings about so many things. I definitely think fiction is just as important, and substantial, as non-fiction. Which is why I got this quote.

“Who is more real? Homer or Ulysses? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Burroughs or Tarzan?”

What font is that? It’s beautiful

Thank you!
It’s a font called Lennon. It’s modeled after John Lennon’s handwriting.
