Ray Bradbury

I love the novel Fahrenheit 451, the author of this novel passed away a few days ago, I spent a little bit of time reviewing some of my favorite quotes by Ray:

"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. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so as long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away." 


"Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together." -Ray Bradbury


"You've got to jump off buildings every day, and build your wings on the way back down to solid ground." Adapted From Ray Bradbury
