"It Was A Pleasure To Burn."

Ray Bradbury - The Leviathan 2 (Joseph Mugnaini)

My heart did not beat, it exploded.

I did not warm to a subject, I boiled over.

I have always run fast and yelled loud about a list of great and magical things I knew I simply could not live without.

Sunsets are loved because they vanish.

-- Ray Bradbury

(Cluj, Romania)

“The October Country…that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain…” -Ray Bradbury

Happy Birthday, Ray Bradbury!

August 22, 1920

“I’ll make a sound that’s so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and hearths will seem warmer, and being inside will seem better to all who hear it in the distant towns.”

The Fog Horn, Ray Bradbury
