It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise. Then it all comes blurting out and it’s beautiful. I’ve had a sign by my typewriter for 25 years now which reads, ‘DON’T THINK!’”<br /> -Ray Bradbury<br /> <br />This was kept on my wall in my bedroom and in my dorm in college for many years. His short stories introduced me to the concept of irony when I was in 6th grade. <br /><br />Aside from a great writer, he was a visionary. He predicted the ATM machine, created teh conept of the food-court at shopping malls, and many other things.Neil Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797772082427806345noreply@blogger.com
