Memorable Passage- Ray Bradbury

This is from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury:

     "Let me alone," said Mildred. "I didn't do anything."

     "Let you alone! That's all very well, but how can I leave myself alone? We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?"

I like this qoute alot because it say that there are no highs without the lows in life. This make quite a big statement on the life of Montag, the main character, because he has never been happy so he can never be sad.

This is from Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury:

      "Important thing is not the me that's lying here, but the me that's sitting on the edge of the bed looking back at me, and the me that's downstairs cooking supper, or out in the garage under the car, or in the library reading. All the new parts, they count. I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. "


I like this qoute. It take place between Douglas, a young boy, and his great-grandmother as she is dying. She give him no real answer, but explains to him that her memory will be carried on and that she was not like the woman that she was that day. It reminds me about how to feel about my grandma and how she would never want to trouble me by her passing and how if she were still alive, she would definately not be who I remember her by.
