Sam Weller

“We use certain authors at certain times of our lives, and we may never go back to them again.”
― Sam Weller, Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews

“he was lecturing at a local university and a literature class tried to tell him what Fahrenheit 451 was really about. They were wrong and he told them so. But they insisted that they were right. “No, you’re wrong,” he said. It went back and forth like this for some time, a lit-crit Ping-Pong volley, until, finally, incensed that the professor and his students thought they knew more about the work than the author who created it, Ray told them all to F-off. Afterward, angered, he stomped out of the room.”
