The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.

Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery; there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray BradburyLearning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

Thinking little at all about nothing in particular.
Ray BradburyYou must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.

My gosh, if you’re going away, we got a million things to talk about! All the things we would’ve talked about next month, the month after! Praying mantises, zeppelins, acrobats, sword swallowers!

"You can depend on me," said Tom.
