"They are so confident that they will..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury
They are so confident that they will run on forever. But they won't run on. They don't know that this is all one huge big blazing meteor that makes a pretty fire in space, but that some day it'll have to hit.

“Writing is supposed to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation.”
“Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.”
“Last night I thought about all the kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before...It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life, and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over.”

“The problem with common sense is, it isn't.”
“Only our concept of time makes it possible for us to speak of the Day of Judgment by that name in reality it is a summary court in perpetual session.”
