“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories – science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
~ Ray Bradbury

Nice to have you back again. Great quote — it made my day. dc
Glad it was a blessing, Dee. :)
Wow. Powerful. – Me
Yes, Bradbury has a way with words I’ve seldom seen matched by any other writer. Have you read any of his work? :)
I cannot say I have, If I did though, I certainly don’t remember it. – Me
Check out Fahrenheit 451 – it’s one of the best novels ever written.
Oh! Sorry, yes that I have read. I don’t usually read who the authors are however.
Very good, a little bit depressing though, and very bizarre. – Me
It’s my second favorite novel, after McCarthy’s The Road. Bradbury has written some truly fantastic stuff; another book by him I’d recommend is Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Very inspiring, ain’t he?
Indeed. :)
On that note, I am planning to read Doug Wilson’s Wordsmith book next week.
You’re gonna love it – of that I am sure. :)
Love this one!
I figured you might. :D
That’s a great quote!
Sometime, I’m going to have to read one of his books… :)
To the KING be all the glory!

I recommend starting with Fahrenheit 145 – it’s brilliant. :)
I’ve got that one on my list. We’re hoping to ‘meet’ the library soon… I haven’t been to one in years! Needless to say, this reader is very excited! :)
To the KING be all the glory!
Rebekah
Enjoy! :)
I’m a natural!
: )
Thanks for the validation! Haha!
