Dispatches From Outside the City

“To speak of Fahrenheit [451], you have to speak of all my other books. Everything has been an accident. Everything has been unplanned. Everything has been a passion, a madness, a great love. Each of my books is a special love….

“But thank God I behaved unconsciously and didn’t try to intellectualize my career — left or right, black or white, up or down, male or female — none of that junk. Just me, the typewriter and the future.”

Ray Bradbury, from an interview on the Fahrenheit 451 movie DVD

Galaxy Magazine, 1951
