“Putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun.”

“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”

“Sun is a hearthstone, a merry-go-round of extinguished hearthstones.”

“The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.For nothing now can ever come to any good.”

“Well, Montag, take my word for it, I've had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They're about non-existent people, figments of imagination, if they're fiction. And if they're non-fiction, it's worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another's gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost.”

“Here is the candle extinguished and there the living lamp of the Sun! Do mark the difference between the one and the other!”
