"Books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out,..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“I'm not trying to PREDICT the future. I'm just trying to PREVENT it.”

“You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!”

“And I saw then and there you take a man half-bad and a women half-bad and put their two good halves together and you got one human all good to share between.”

“Last night I thought about all the kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before...It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life, and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over.”

“In the end all books are written for your friends.”

“After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.”

“Out of Plato come all things that are still written and debated about among men of thought.”

“New ideas can be good and bad, just the same as old ones.”

“One idea lights a thousand candles.”
