"Maybe the books can get us half..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.”

“If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.”

“Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no "charge" left. You can't father children that way.”

“How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!”

“People who read are people who dream.”

“All the women in my life have been librarians, English teachers and book sellers.”

“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.”

“Learn to see - accustoming the eye to calm, to patience, to letting-things-come-to-it; learning to defer judgment, to encircle and encompass the question on all sides.”

“In the long run, the most unpleasant truth is a safer companion than a pleasant falsehood.”
