"I couldn't go to college, so I..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.”

“I'm not a serious person, and I don't like serious people.”

“Everything that happens before Death is what counts.”

“I don't want to exaggerate; having as many African American men as we've had in the criminal-justice system, and the amount of time it takes for the damage done by that to wash through our society and our communities, the disadvantages born out of kids being undiagnosed with mental-health problems early, or not getting the kind of exposure to reading and math when they're 4 or 5 or 6 years old, that carries a cost.”

“An educated man is not one whose memory is trained to carry a few dates in history - he is one who can accomplish things.”

“Basic education links the children, whether of the cities or the villages, to all that is best and lasting in India.”

“The doors of this Library are open now and are all welcome. The judgment of history is left to you, the people. I have no fears of that, for we have done our best. And so I say, come and learn from it.”

“Libraries should be open to all - except the censor. [Response to questionnaire in Saturday Review, October 29 1960]”

“Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library.”
