Quotes From Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Below are some of the books I retained from the book Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury:

• “Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.”
• “The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.”
• “A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?”
• “Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
• It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
• “If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.”
