love sorry mean
In that film Love Story, there's a line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you're sorry every day for some little thing or other.
strange life-is
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
writing dies
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
believe together i-believe
I believe in Darwin and God together.
lying men people
Old men only lie in wait for people to ask them to talk. Then they rattle on like a rusty elevator wheezing up a shaft.
past two half
I prefer to see myself as the Janus, the two-faced god who is half Pollyanna and half Cassandra, warning of the future and perhaps living too much in the past—a combination of both.
mother women race
There are two races of people -- men and women -- no matter what women's libbers would have you pretend. The male is motivated by toys and science because men are born with no purpose in the universe except to procreate. There is lots of time to kill beyond that. They've got to find work. Men have no inherent center to themselves beyond procreating. Women, however, are born with a center. They can create the universe, mother it, teach it, nurture it. Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.
men games waste
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
teacher fiction fables
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
writing passion names
I write all of my novels and stories, as you have seen, in a great surge of delightful passion. Only recently, glancing at the novel, I realized that Montag is named after a paper manufacturing company. And Faber, of course, is a maker of pencils! What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus. And not tell me!
party would-be fiction
When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.
life letting-go should
Life should be touched, not strangled.
taken believe writing
I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
flesh bones
His flesh took paleness from his bones.
