Ray Bradbury (Ray Douglas Bradbury) Quotes
It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.

The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.
