More quotes by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

"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."
"For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person..."
"Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore."
"The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are."
"Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless."
