We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick... - Ray Bradbury

"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong."Or "She's going to hurt me."Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ."Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."

"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."

"Libraries raised me."

"We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of on good rain and black loam."

"The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible."
