"The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little."
"And some day well remember so much that well build the biggest goddam steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up."

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
"Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down."
"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall."
"Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything."
"Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow."
