The Cult of Ray

I was perusing my dear old dad's bookshelf and came across a book by Ray Bradbury titled, 'Zen and the Art of Writing'.
There were a pair of good quotes from the book.

"Life is short, misery sure, mortality certain." - pg. 9.
"Who are your friends? Do they believe in you? Or do they stunt your growth with ridicule and disbelief? If the latter, you haven't friends. Go find some." - pg. 47.

I also love the album by Frank Black, which includes one of my favorite songs: Men in Black.
