"Those who don't build must burn. It's..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go. I have always longed for education, and pillow talk's the best.”

“A book is a loaded gun.”

“How do you get so empty? Who takes it out of you?”

“You are not here to prove worthiness. You are here to extend the creation, creator, creating that you are.”

“Being is born of not being.”

“Nature in no case cometh short of art, for the arts are copiers of natural forms.”

“I see neither bravery nor sacrifice in destroying life or property, for offense or defense.”

“Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.”

“Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more and more tame and cheap.”
