It was a pleasure to burn.
It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history.
There you have it, Montag. It didn’t come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God. Today, thanks to them, you can stay happy all the time, you are allowed to read comics, the good old confessions, or trade journals.
— Beatty in Fahrenheit 451

Basta fazer com que as pessoas deixem de lê-los.” - Ray Bradbury -

[ Já esteve aqui. É tão bom que voltou ] - 2013 -
Rereading “Dandeliion Wine,” a perfect summer read.
“…why not let nature show you a few things? Cutting grass and pulling weeds can be a way of life… Lilacs on a bush are better than orchids. And dandelions and devil grass are better! Why? Because they bend you over and turn you away from all the people and the town for a little while and sweat you and get you down where you remember you got a nose again. And when you’re all to yourself that way, you’re really yourself for a little while; you get to thinking things through, alone. Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are, Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder. As Samuel Spaudling, Esquire, once said, ‘Dig in the earth, delve in the soul.’ Spin those mower blades, Bill, and walk in the spray of the Fountain of Youth.”
My friend Jakob in Russia sent me...
Мультфильм студии "Узбекфильм". По мотивам рассказа Рэя Брэдбери. Uzbekfilm animation. Based on Ray Bradbury`s story.
He wrote, "В гениальном мультике показаны реалии 2026-2027 гг, оцифровку планеты элитарии-сатанисты наметили завершить к 2035 г, сейчас цифровизация биообъектов посредством вакцинирования в самом разгаре.
Удивительно, что 40 лет назад творческая группа создателей напророчила секуляризацию мира, эрзац-веру."
