“swoopers write a story quickly, which in his description is: “higgledly-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it again painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn't work; [while] bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they're done they're done.”

“When you want to do a thing badly enough you lie to yourself. You say the other people are all wrong. Well, soon after I started killing people I realized they were just fools and I shouldn’t be killing them. But it was too late. I couldn’t go on with it then, so I came up here where I could lie to myself some more and get angry, to build it all up again.”
― Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

“you cannot love someone unless you put up with him,”
― Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles
