I had always turned to books, to knowledge, to help me get through everything in my life–and, sometimes, to escape it. But grief was a journey through a forest of razor blades. I walked through everypainful inch of it–no shortcuts and no anesthesia.

About This Quote

As one of the most successful authors in history, Ray Bradbury also had a rich personal life. The author of such bestsellers as "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Martian Chronicles," Ray Bradbury was born in 1920. His old age is marked by his loss of his wife and youngest daughter, both of whom died within a year of each other within the span of just two years. Ray Bradbury knew what it felt like to be at the mercy of the elements and the emotions that go with them.

He once wrote: “I had always turned to books, to knowledge, to help me get through everything in my life—and,sometimes, to escape it. But grief was a journey through a forest of razor blades. I walked through every painful inch of it—no shortcuts and no anesthesia.
