"You ask Why to a lot of..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“...trees to cool the towns in the boiling summer, trees to hold back the winter winds. There were so many things a tree could do: add color, provide shade, drop fruit, or become a children's playground, a whole sky universe to climb and hang from; an architecture of food and pleasure, that was a tree. But most of all the trees would distill an icy air for the lungs, and a gentle rustling for the ear when you lay nights in your snowy bed and were gentled to sleep by the sound.”

“Facts are not interesting to me.”

“Write. Don't think. Relax.”

“Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.”

“If you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had better try to learn more about it.”

“It's more interesting for me to figure out how to be superior in areas where I'm naive, where I'm a novice.”

“No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.”

“I have little belief in human progress. The human race is incurably idiotic. It will never be happy.”

“Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget what I was going to say' - but then he forgot this answer too, and stayed silent.”
