Quote by Ray Bradbury

“[...] Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of the state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy. [...]”

“La civiltà, dopo aver concesso a ognuno di noi la libertà e averci resi fieri come tigri, ci getta in una gabbia, per mantenere il mondo tranquillo. Questa non è una vera pace. È la pace della tigre nel giardino zoologico, che se ne sta sdraiata fissando furiosamente gli uomini. Se si spezzasse solo una sbarra della gabbia il mondo sarebbe fatto a pezzi.”

“Yes, I represent for her a tidy little capital and, if I should ever happen to die, I am convinced she would be genuinely annoyed. (This should help me to live.) I like to fancy that when the fatal hour of reckoning comes (if it ever does), and my debt to nature is paid at last, she will do her best to prevent the removal, from where it now stands, of the old vase in which I shall have accomplished my vicissitudes. And perhaps in the place now occupied by my head she will set a melon, or a vegetable-marrow, or a big pineapple with its little tuft (or better still, I don't know why, a swede), in memory of me. Then I shall vanish quite (as is so often the way with people when they are buried).”
