W. Somerset Maugham
“Its a toss-up when you decide to leave the beaten track. Many are called, few are chosen.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Razor's Edge

Larry McMurtry
“The older the violin, the sweeter the music.”
Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove

Ray Bradbury
“I’m ALIVE. Thinking about it, noticing it, is new. You do things and don’t watch. Then all of a sudden you look and see what you’re doing and it’s the first time, really.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Ray Bradbury
“Everything that happens before Death is what counts.”
Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

Ray Bradbury
“You’ll find out it’s little savors and little things that count more than big ones. A walk on a spring morning is better than an eighty-mile ride in a hopped-up car, you know why? Because it’s full of flavors, full of a lot of things growing. You’ve time to seek and find. I know, you’re after the broad effect now, I suppose that’s fit and proper. But you got to look at grapes as well as watermelons. You greatly admire skeletons and I like fingerprints; well, and good. Right now such things are bothersome to you, and I wonder if it isn’t because you never learned to use them. If you had your way you’d pass a law to abolish all the little jobs, the little things. But then you’d leave yourselves nothing to do between the big jobs and you’d have a devil of a time thinking up things? Cutting grass and pulling weeds can be a way of life.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
