So far I have the easiest college classes ever. And so I decided to read Farenheit 461 to gain some extra knowledge about literature.
I found a quote at the very end that I really liked.
It's not deep or anything, I just really like the analogy. It's perfectly poetic.
"If teachers and grammar school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture."
Mostly Ray Bradbury is referring to censorship and political correctness.
But I thought it was a beautiful passage.

Yeah, but you could apply this quote to the whole education system. They teach you that there's only one set answer to every problem and that simply isn't true. There are many paths to the same answer, and one path that leads to many answers. Think about that.
I love Fahrenheit 451! I'm kind of a sucker for "horrible future" books. Ray Bradbury is such a good writer.
