long coward way
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
girl flames long-ago
They walked still farther and the girl said, "Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?" No. Houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it." Strange. I heard once that a long time ago houses used to burn by accident and they needed firemen to stop the flames.
real long hatred
How long has it been since you wrote a story where your real love or your real hatred somehow got onto the paper? When was the last time you dared release a cherished prejudice so it slammed the page like a lightning bolt?
dream night long
I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives.
long wish
Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.
long want enough
I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.
long skins burning
He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle burning too long and now collapsing and now blown out.
water long silent
The Martians were there—in the canal—reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water....
running home long
For John was running, and this was terrible. Because if you ran, time ran. You yelled and screamed and raced and rolled and tumbled and all of a sudden the sun was gone and the whistle was blowing and you were on your long way home to supper. When you weren't looking, the sun got around behind you! The only way to keep things slow was to watch everything and do nothing! You could stretch a day to three days, sure, just by watching!
thinking giving long
This was all he wanted now. Some signs that the immense world would accept him and give him the long time he needed to think all the things that must be thought.
writing years long
When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.
hands long legacy
It doesn't matter what you do...so 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.
real long important
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?
