“On the blank page all things are possible.”— Marty Rubin Related Quotes “My mind skidded round a very short track and passed the finish line in a matter of seconds without any sensible conclusion.”— Petra Kidd “All you need do, Bernie,”she gulped her toast soaked in coffee, “is present the truth as fiction.”— James Purdy “In writing the short novel Fahrenheit 451 I thought I was describing a world that might evolve in four or five decades. But only a few weeks ago, in Beverly Hills one night, a husband and wife passed me, walking their dog. I stood staring after them, absolutely stunned. The woman held in one hand a small cigarette-package-sized radio, its antenna quivering. From this sprang tiny copper wires which ended in a dainty cone plugged into her right ear. There she was, oblivious to man and dog, listening to far winds and whispers and soap-opera cries, sleep-walking, helped up and down curbs by a husband who might just as well not have been there. This was not fiction.”— Ray Bradbury
