There is more than one way to burn a book.

I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.

Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.

I'm numb and I'm tired. Too much has happened today. I feel as if I'd been out in a pounding rain for forty-eight hours without an umbrella or a coat. I'm soaked to the skin with emotion.

I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.

Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
