Ray Bradbury (Ray Douglas Bradbury) Quotes

He glanced back at the wall. How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know who reflected your own light to you?

How rarely did other people's faces take of you and throw back to you your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought?
