"A story should be like a river,..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“We have our Arts so we won't die of Truth.”

“I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.”

“At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice!”

“I know a man He came from my home town He wore his passion for his woman Like a thorny crown He said "Dolores I live in fear My love for you's so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear”

“I love a ballad in print o' life, for then we are sure they are true.”

“Sometimes you know the story. Sometimes you make it up as you go along and have no idea how it will come out.”

“In places this book is a little over-written, because Mr Blunden is no more able to resist a quotation than some people are to refuse a drink.”

“Even the 'Negro' shows like 'Amos and Andy' and 'Beulah' are written largely by white writers - the better to preserve the stereotypes, I imagine.”

“When I did have some success, it further emboldens you to be like, 'No, I'm just going to write what I feel I should write.'”
