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.
Ray BradburyIf you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.
Ray BradburyYou must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
Ray BradburyHere at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
