"Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are...." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.”

“Man has always been half-monster, half-dreamer.”

“You have to be very productive in order to become excellent. You have to go through a poor period and a mediocre period, and then you move into your excellent period. It may be very well be that some of you have done quite a bit of writing already. You maybe ready to move into your good period and your excellent period. But you shouldn't be surprised if it becomes a very long process.”

“Think what cowards men would be if they had to bear children. Women are altogether a superior species.”

“I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.”

“London is full of women who trust their husbands. One can always recognize them. They look so thoroughly unhappy.”

“Life moves out of a red flare of dreams Into a common light of common hours, Until old age brings the red flare again.”

“In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.”

“Turbulent childhood, adolescent daydreams in the drone of the bus's motor, mornings, unspoiled girls, beaches, young muscles always at the peak of their effort, evening's slight anxiety in a sixteen-year-old-heart, lust for life, fame, and ever the same sky through the years, unfailing in strength and light, itself insatiable, consuming one by one over a period of months the victims stretched out in the form of crosses on the beach at the deathlike hour of noon.”
