Axes Quote by Ray Bradbury

“The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!” quote by Ray Bradbury — Download Open image

“You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do—and they don’t. They have prejudices.

Hence it necessarily follows that the equinoxes and solstices seem to anticipate their timing, not because the sphere…
