“What would you do if you could fly?" Mrs. V asks as she glances from the bird to me.

"Is that on the quiz?" I ask, grinning as I type.

“He did not go much further, but sat down on the cold floor and gave himself up to complete miserableness, for a long while. He thought of himself frying bacon and eggs in his own kitchen at home - for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other; but that only made him miserabler.”

But he knew his mouth had only moved to say hello. "Do you mind if I ask? How long've you worked at being a fireman?" the girl asked. "Since I was twenty, ten years ago," said Montag. They walked farther and the girl said, "Is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?" "No," Montag replied, "houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it," but the girl knew this was not true.Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

“There is a curious comfort in letting go. After the agony, letting go brings numbness, and after the numbness, clarity. As if I can see the world for the first time, and my place in it, independent of you, a whole vista of what may be.

I will triumph over you.”
