"I’m ALIVE. Thinking about it, noticing it,..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“A science fiction story is just an attempt to solve a problem that exists in the world, sometimes a moral problem, sometimes a physical or social or theological problem.”

“Now let's take up the minorities in our civilisation, shall we? Bigger the population, the more minorities. Don't step on the toes of the dog-lovers, the cat-lovers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs, Mormons, Baptists, Unitarians, second-generation Chinese, Swedes, Italians, Germans, Texans, Brooklynites, Irishmen, people from Oregon or Mexico. The people in this book, this play, this TV serial are not meant to represent any actual painters, cartographers, mechanics anywhere. The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy, remember that!”

“But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.”

“Man has not the right to turn aside and heed not what is happening in the world around him, and this I maintain on moral grounds of the highest order.”

“average human “looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odour or fragrance, and talks without thinking.”

“To become acquainted with oneself is a terrible shock.”

“There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.”

“Life is a series of delicious moments.”

“A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence.”
