Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. (Fahrenheit 451) You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. (Zen in the Art of Writing) It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid. (NPR Interview) All of us, no matter how we look born into this world, feel something like the Hunchback. It doesn't matter if you have a beautiful face or not. (NPR Interview) Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you’re there. (Fahrenheit 451) We need our Arts to teach us how to breathe (Zen in the Art of Writing) “I don’t believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.” "There is much pain that is quite noiseless; and vibrations that make human agonies are often a mere whisper in the roar of hurrying existence. There are glances of hatred that stab and raise no cry of murder; robberies that leave men or women for every beggard of peace and joy, yet kept secret by the sufferer committed to no sound except that of low moans in the night, seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has married a life been breathed into no human ear." |
