“So we dance, we dance so as not to be dead. We do not want that.” — Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man I have had a hard time lately. Such a very hard time… All around me is decay, All around me is heartache. Nothing is as it seems anymore, and anymore, it seems there …

The Odds
“I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I’m 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…” — Faber to Montag, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury The state of …
All Up In The Stars
I always forget about the stars. I mean, I look at them every chance I get, have space and nebula wallpapers on all my computers and devices, and read about them on my Amazon Kindle… but I completely forget about what they do.
