"There must be something in books, something..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“You ask Why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it. The poor girl's better off dead”

“Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.”

“We all are rich and ignore the buried fact of accumulated wisdom.”

“Without books the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are the engines of change, windows on the world, "Lighthouses" as the poet said "erected in the sea of time." They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind, Books are humanity in print.”

“When we read a book, our most essential trait - imagination - is given the opportunity to soar.”

“To buy books would be a good thing if we could also buy the time to read them; but the purchase of books is often mistaken for the assimilation and mastering of their contents.”

“For surely to be wise is the most desirable thing in all the world.”

“What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself in man.”

“There's a lot of young guys coming along, but I'd like to say to the various financiers, don't forget the senior guys. The senior guys and gals are there, willing to do their best work for you.”
