Ray Bradbury (Ray Douglas Bradbury) Quotes
Shut the door, they're coming through the window, shut the window, they're coming through the door," are the words to an old song.

Students, reading the novel which, after all, deals with censorship and book-burning in the future, write to tell me of this exquisite irony.
