All Summer in a Day Quotes

“I think the sun is a flower.
That blooms for just one hour.”
― Ray Bradbury, All Summer in a Day

“Sabía que creían recordar un calor, un ardor en las mejillas, en el cuerpo, en los brazos y las piernas, en las manos temblorosas. Pero luego despertaban siempre al tamborileo trepidante, al interminable tintineo de unos collares de perlas transparentes sobre el tejado, el sendero, los jardines, los bosques…, y los sueños se desvanecían.”
― Ray Bradbury, All Summer in a Day

“It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days...”
― Ray Bradbury, All Summer in a Day

“It was as if, in the midst of a film concerning an avalanche, a tornado, a hurricane, a volcanic eruption, something had, first, gone wrong with the sound apparatus, thus muffling and finally cutting off all noise, all of the blasts and repercussions and thunders, and then, second, ripped the film from the projector and inserted in its place a beautiful tropical slide which did not move or tremor. The world ground to a standstill. The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed or you had lost your hearing altogether. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart. The door slid back and the smell of the
silent, waiting world came in to them.
The sun came out.”
― Ray Bradbury, All Summer in a Day
