"I believe in having fun first, and..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Life is like underwear, should be changed twice a day.”

“I started writing every day. I never stopped.”

“Shut the door, they're coming through the window, shut the window, they're coming through the door," are the words to an old song. They fit my lifestyle with newly arriving butcher/censors every month. Only six weeks ago, I discovered that, over the years, some cubby-hole editors at Ballantine Books, fearful of contaminating the young, had, bit by bit, censored some 75 separate sections from the novel. Students, reading the novel which, after all, deals with censorship and book-burning in the future, write to tell me of this exquisite irony.”

“Husbands and wives, have fun with each other. I'm convinced it makes all the difference in the world.”

“Besides, you don't work for a dollar - you work to create and have fun.”

“If you'd never been born, then you might be an Isn't! An Isn't has no fun at all. No, he disn't.”

“Blessed is he who devotes his life to great and noble ends, and who forms his well-considered plans with deliberate wisdom.”

“You don't want modesty, you want humility. Humility comes from inside out. It says someone was here before me and I'm here because I've been paid for. I have something to do and I will do that because I'm paying for someone else who has yet to come.”

“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.”
