"Fahrenheit 451" [.]

[fiefoe]

__ 'You laugh when I haven't been funny and you answer right off. You never stop to think what I've asked you.'
__ How rarely did other people's faces take of you and throw back to you your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought? <> What
incredible power of identification the girl had;

__ The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more 'literary' you are... Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her.

__ 'The books say _nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe.' [Beatty]

__ The world was bankrupted of ten million fine actions the night he passed on.
__ Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die. It doesn't matter what you do,... 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 hand away.

__ the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely
__ such illumination that space lost its vast dimensions and drew comfortably around them
