Some people turn sad awfully young ... No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer, and ... get sadder younger than anyone else in the world.

– Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

The stars are yours, if you have the head, the hands, and the heart for them.

R is for Rocket, Ray Bradbury

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.

“That’s the whole secret: To do things that excite you.”

— Ray Bradbury, The Art of Fiction No. 203

Sunsets are loved because they vanish.
