"So there you have it, a lifetime..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here.”

“How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.”

“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.”

“If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate.”

“We get our morals from books. I didn't get mine from books, but I know that morals do come from books- theoretically at least.”

“When I stand in a library where is all the recorded wit of the world, but none of the recording, a mere accumulated, and not trulycumulative treasure; where immortal works stand side by side with anthologies which did not survive their month, and cobweb and mildew have already spread from these to the binding of those; and happily I am reminded of what poetry is,--I perceive that Shakespeare and Milton did not foresee into what company they were to fall. Alas! that so soon the work of a true poet should be swept into such a dust-hole!”

“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”

“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”

“Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading”
