"All education is self-discovery...." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“What are you up to now?" "I'm sill crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.”

“Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.”

“Do you ever read any of the books you burn?" He laughed. "That's against the law!" "Oh. Of course.”

“I wish there had been a music business 101 course I could have taken.”

“What do I consider a teacher should be? One who breathes life into knowledge so that it takes new form in progress and civilization.”

“And we must beg Homer and the other poets not to be angry if we strike out these and similar passages, not because they are unpoetical, or unattractive to the popular ear, but because the greater the poetical charm in them, the less are they meet for the ears of boys and men who are meant to be free, and who should fear slavery more than death.”

“And there was, in those Ipswich years, for me at least, a raw educational component; though I used to score well in academic tests, I seemed to know very little of how the world worked and was truly grateful for instruction, whether it was how to stroke a backhand, mix a martini, use a wallpaper steamer, or do the Twist. My wife, too, seemed willing to learn. Old as we must have looked to our children, we were still taking lessons, in how to be grown-up.”

“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”

“We get no good By being ungenerous, even to a book, And calculating profits--so much help By so much reading. It is rather when We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's profound, Impassioned for its beauty, and salt of truth-- 'Tis then we get the right good from a book.”
