“This was a major turning point in my life.”
R.L. Stine’s life was changed when a librarian helped him discover Ray Bradbury.
Uh, thank goodness for that librarian.
OF COURSE.

Quoting Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), who passed away on Tuesday, at 91-years-old. He wasn’t one for technology and perhaps not electronic tributes either.
Reblogging because some of these quotes are beautiful, of course, but I can’t help thinking it will be a little bit sad if Ray Bradbury is mostly remembered as a funny old guy who was cranky about the internet. His views were growing and changing even in his later years, and he obviously came to understand the benefits of certain technologies.

“The books I brought home from the library caused me to think about the origins of life and the universe.”
Ray Bradbury, “The Book and the Butterfly,” to be published as an introduction to this year’s edition of “The Best American Nonrequired Reading,” edited by Dave Eggers (via thelifeguardlibrarian)

“Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows’ Eve.”

One of my three favourite books by Ray Bradbury, and some of the scariest and creepiest short stories I’ve ever read by anybody.
It also contains one of my favourite quotes of all time, part of which is my email signature:
“That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts.”
