Book #1: Fahrenheit 451

I've been reading Fahrenheit 451 lately, and there have been some interesting quotes in the last couple of days that I've been thinking a lot about....I don't necessarily have an opinion about all of them, but did think they were interesting!

______________________________________

"Those who don't build must burn." (pg. 89)

_____________________________________

"Knowledge is more than equivalent to force." (pg. 106)

_____________________________________

"He is no wise man that will quit a certainty for an uncertainty." (pg. 106)

______________________________________

"The Sea of Faith
was once, too, at the full and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furied.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night." (pg. 100)

Montag's hands picked up the Bible. He saw what his hands had done and he looked surprised. "Would you like to own this?"

Faber said, "I'd give my right arm." (pg. 88)

___________________________________

"The first thing we need is Quality, texture of information."

"And the second?"

"Leisure."

"Oh, but we've plenty of off-hours."

Off-hours, yes. But time to think? If you're not driving a hundred miles an hour...then you're playing some game or sitting in some room where you can't argue with the four-wall televisor. Why? The televisor is 'real.' It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't the time to protest, 'What nonsense!'" (pg. 84)

Hello All,

i have been trying to figure out a good place to begin with the Acai free trial & was wanting to know if anyone had some thoughts on whether or not it works for weight loss? So far here's the only [url=http://acaiberries.zoomblog.com/]article[/url] I have been able to read that seemed realistic for the goals I have. Thoughts?
