Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Él y otros miles como él, todos los que tuvieran un poco de sentido común se irían a Marte. Ya lo iban a ver. Escaparían de las guerras, la censura, el estatismo, el servicio militar, el control gubernamental de esto o aquello, del arte y de la ciencia.”

No permitieron que la ciencia aplastara la belleza.”

“It seemed my whole life was composed of these disjointed fractions of time, hanging around in one public place and then another, as if I were waiting for trains that never came. And, like one of those ghosts who are said to linger around depots late at night, asking passersby for the timetable of the Midnight Express that derailed twenty years before, I wandered from light to light until that dreaded hour when all the doors closed and, stepping from the world of warmth and people and conversation overheard, I felt the old familiar cold twist through my bones again and then it was all forgotten, the warmth, the lights; I had never been warm in my life, ever.”

“—Yo iba a embarcar en el último cohete, pero preferí quedarme, ¿sabes por qué? —¿Por qué? —Porque todos se metían conmigo. Por eso me quedé; para echarme perfume encima el día entero y beber diez mil cervezas y comer dulces y bombones sin que la gente me esté diciendo "¡Oh, cuidado, eso tiene muchas calorías!". Y aquí estoy. —Y aquí estás.”
