"With our revolutionary background in every activity we've ever touched ~ electricity, communication, flying ~ we've revolutionized just about everything in the history of the world, and it's interesting to me that we Americans are not interested in paradox more, and in ideas. The literature we read up until the early sixties has been almost bankrupt of ideas. A man like Hemingway hardly had an idea in his life. It was always one idea: the male situation. It's good stuff, I love it, but he was not an idea man. Neither was Steinbeck or Faulkner. Fitzgerald came closer to being a kind of idea writer; he had wonderful insights into human personality and foibles, his notebooks are full of ideas."
~ Ray Bradbury (b. Aug. 22, 1920, d. June 5, 2012) American Fantasy, Sci-Fi writer.
