| ba09b93 | No front porches. My uncle says there used to be front porches. And people sat there sometimes at night, talking when they wanted to talk, rocking, and not talking when they didn't want to talk. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| 4e8b754 | So the rest of the summer you could see the two little girls and Tom like wrens on a wire, on Mrs. Bentley's front porch, waiting. And when the silvery chimes of the icicle man were heard, the front door opened, Mrs. Bentley floated out with her hand deep down the gullet of her silver-mouthed purse, and for half an hour you could see them there on the porch, the children and the old lady putting coldness into warmness, eating chocolate icic.. | Ray Bradbury | ||

| cfc88dc | Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them, at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. -- | Ray Bradbury | ||

| 1053c10 | Da te pustim na miru! Sve je to lepo, ali kako sebe da pustim da miru? Ne treba da budemo pusteni na miru. Zaista treba da se uznemirimo s vremena na vreme. Kad si se poslednji put stvarno uznemirila? Zbog neceg vaznog, zbog neceg stvarnog? | Ray Bradbury | ||

| f89d5a3 | C'era come un odore di Tempo, Nell'aria della notte. Tomas sorrise all'idea, continuando a rimuginarla. Era una strana idea. E che odore aveva il Tempo, poi? Odorava di polvere, di orologi e di gente. E che suono aveva il Tempo? Faceva un rumore di acque correnti nei recessi bui d'una grotta, di voci querule, di terra che risuonava con un tonfo cavo sui coperchi delle casse, e battere di pioggia. E, per arrivare alle estreme conseguenze: ch.. | Ray Bradbury | ||

| a017a52 | autrefois, il y avait des galeries aux maisons. Et quelque-fois, les gens restaient assis, tard dans la nuit, bavardant s'ils en avaient envie, se balancant dans leurs fauteuils, silencieux s'ils n'eprouvaient pas le besoin de parler. parfois, ils restaient la, tranquillement, a reflechir a ruminer. Mon oncle dit que les architectes ont supprime les galeries pour des raisons d'esthetique. Mais mon oncle dit que c'est un pretexte, rien de pl.. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| ed98d19 | Le televiseur est reel. Il est present. Il a ses dimensions. Il vous dit ce qu'il faut penser, vous le hurle a la figure. Il doit avoir raison. Il semble avoir raison. Il vous pousse a un tel rythme vers ses conclusions que votre esprit n'a pas le temps de s'ecrier: "C'est idiot"." | Ray Bradbury | ||

| c94c7fc | I think all of us felt," I said, "at least once in our lives, when we were young, we could go over there, after reading the bull stuff in the Spanish stories, that we could go over there and fight. Or at least jog ahead of the running of the bulls, in the early morning, with a good drink waiting at the other end of the run, and your best girl with you there for the long weekend." I stopped. I laughed quietly. For my voice had, without knowi.. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| f68fb68 | Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There's nothing magical in them at all. Magic is only what books mean, what books say. How they stitch the patterns of the universe together into one garment for us. | magic meaning | Ray Bradbury | |
| 70c391f | A regrettable situation," said Bierce, smiling, "for the Yuletide merchants who, toward the last there, as I recall, were beginning to put up holly and sing Noel the day before Halloween. With any luck at all this year they might have started on Labor Day!" | Ray Bradbury | ||
| 3c7b3a4 | I sat and three hours later realized I had been seized by an idea that started short but grew to wild size by day's end. The concept was so riveting I found it hard at sunset to flee the library basement and take the bus home to reality: my house, my wife, and our baby daughter. | ideas riveting | Ray Bradbury | |
| 83fb809 | Will walked silently to touch the iron rungs hidden under the rustling ivy. "Dad. You won't pull these off ...?" Dad probed one with his fingers. "Some day, when you're tired of them, you'll take them off yourself." "I'll never be tired of them." "Is that how it seems? Yes, to someone your age, you figure you'll never get tired of anything. All right, son, up you go." | Ray Bradbury | ||

| bfaa431 | Daca vrei ca un om sa fie fericit politiceste, nu-i infatisa doua laturi ale unei probleme, caci s-ar framanta, prezinta-i o singura latura, sau chiar nici una, e si mai bine. Lasa-l sa uite c-ar exista primejdia razboiului. Daca guvernul e incapabil, birocratic si ahtiat de impozite, lasa-l sa ramana asa, decat sa-i faci pe oameni sa se necajeasca din pricina asta. Avem nevoie de liniste, Montag. Da-le oamenilor concursuri la care castiga .. | Ray Bradbury | ||

| 1216259 | Primul lucru, dupa cum spuneam, e calitatea cunostintelor noastre. Al doilea lucru, strans legat de primul, e ragazul necesar pentru a le digera. Iar al treilea e dreptul de a savarsi fapte intemeiatepe ceaa ce invatam din primele doua. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| 59cec37 | Erau miliarde de frunze pe pamant: Montag se balacea in ele ca-ntr-un rau uscat care mirosea a praf cald si a mirodenii. Dar celelelte miresme! Pamantul rece si nins de razele lunii mirosea a cartofi cruzi! Mai mirosea si a muraturi si a patrunjel, si a mustar. Iar in vazduh plutea si parfumul garoafelor din curtea casei vecine. Montag intinse mana si simti cum o buruiana se inalta ca un copil, fecandu-si capul de el. Degetele lui miroseau .. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| fb36479 | Mireasma fanului uscat si curgerea domoala a apei trezira in el dorinta de a se culca intr-o claie de fan proaspat, intr-un sopron singuratic, departe de autostrazile zgomotoase, in spatele vreunei ferme linistite, sub vreo moara veche de vant, care sa vuiasca lin, cu vuietul anilor ce trec. Ar sta treaz toata noaptea in sopronul acela, ascultand zvoana departata a jivinelor, ganganiilor si copacilor, freamatul si forfota lor marunta. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| eff2108 | Non piu tardi dell'altra sera, ogni cosa era perfetta, poi, ad un tratto, mi sono accorto che stavo affogando. Per quante volte un uomo puo andare a fondo e rimanere ancora vivo? | Ray Bradbury | ||

| 76a10dc | Odio a un romano llamado Status Quo, me decia, llenate los ojos de asombro, vive como si fueras a morir en los proximos diez segundos. Observa el universo. Es mas fantastico que cualquier sueno construido o pagado en una fabrica. No pidas garantias, ni pidas seguridad, nunca hubo un animal semejante. | universo vida | Ray Bradbury | |
| a4bd9c2 | In ballet, any dancer who asks himself what step comes next must freeze. Any man who takes a sex manual to bed with him invites frigidity. Dancing, sex, writing a novel--all are a living process, quick thought, emotion making yet more quick thought, and so on, cycling round. | living | Ray Bradbury | |
| 59b4651 | And then he was a shrieking blaze, a jumping, sprawling gibbering manikin, no longer human or known, all writhing flame on the lawn as Montag shot one continuous pulse of liquid fire on him. | humanity | Ray Bradbury | |

| 1c1c3ab | And then, to the sound of death, the sound of the jets cutting the sky in two black pieces beyond the horizon, he would lie in the loft, hidden and safe, watching those strange new stars over the rim of the earth, fleeing from the soft color of dawn. | stars | Ray Bradbury | |
| f3f53de | You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can't have our minorities upset and stirred. Ask yourself, what do we want in this country, above all? People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? | Ray Bradbury | ||
| c12e25a | The good writers touch life. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. | Ray Bradbury |
