More quotes by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

"Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the Universe together into one garment for us."
"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."
"Are you happy?"
"I often wonder if God recognizes His own son the way we've dressed him up, or is it dressed him down?"
"But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last."
