“Beware the autumn people.”

— Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

"Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them."

-Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

I'd say there's more to come as I dog-eared a bunch of scenes I'd love to draw, but I had to return the book to my brother-in-law.

"Science fiction is the art of the possible."

—Ray Bradbury, born on this day in 1920

“And a last thought from Tom: O Mr. Moundshroud, will we EVER stop being afraid of nights and death? And the thought returned: When you reach the stars, boy, yes, and live there forever, all the fears will go, and Death himself will die.”

― Ray Bradbury, quote from The Halloween Tree
