“Give me lust, baby.

Give me malice.
Flash.
Give me detached existentialist ennui.

Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.

Ray Bradbury
“The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
