“A book, too, can be a star 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly.”

“There are forces working in the world as never before in the history of mankind for standardization, for the regimentation of us all, or what I like to call making muffins of us, muffins all like every other muffin in the muffin tin. This is the limited universe, the drying dissipating universe that we can help our children to avoid by providing them with ‘explosive material capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly'.”

“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”

“You can not hope to arrive at harmony in your life while stirring up disturbances in anothers...”

“Right before the explosions begin, I find a star.”

“The larger a star the shorter its life, but all the more fascinating its death. As it collapses within it’s body, the infalling material can be no longer be compressed; the star is blown to pieces; its shattered mass realeases out ward at the speed of light.”
