"Old men only lie in wait for..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them. Yet if I were asked to name the most important items in a writer's make-up, the things that shape his material and rush him along the road he wants to go. I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.”

“I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.”

“Reading is at the center of our lives. The library is our brain. Without the library, you have no civilization.”

“There comes a period of the imagination to each--a later youth--the power of beauty, the power of looks, of poetry.”

“One spares old people just as one spares children.”

“Now that I am sixty, I see why the idea of elder wisdom has passed from currency.”

“The essence and foundation of House of Commons debating is formal conversation. The set speech, the harangue addressed to constituents, or to the wider public out of doors, has never succeeded much in our small wisely-built chamber. To do any good you have got to get down to grips with the subject and in human touch with the audience.”

“I have risked everything to tell the truth. Tell the truth”

“People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.”
