Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
Ray Bradbury

The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray Bradbury

The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.

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.
