“Do you ever read any of the books you burn?”
He laughed. “That’s against the law!”
“Oh. Of course.”

“Good night!” She started up her walk. Then she seemed to remember something and came back to look at him with wonder and curiosity. “Are you happy?” she said.
“Am I what?” he cried.
But she was gone — running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently.

If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war.

I want it to be your decision, not mine, and not the Captain’s. But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority.
>"Fahrenheit 451" By Ray Bradbury
>The novel's title refers to the supposed temperature at which book paper combusts. Although sources contemporary with the novel's writing gave the temperature as 450 °C (842 °F), Bradbury is believed to have thought "Fahrenheit" made for a better title; however, in an introduction to the 40th anniversary edition of the novel, Bradbury states that a person he spoke with at the local fire department said "Book-paper catches fire at 451 degrees Fahrenheit". The "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity".
>Firemen, The hero of human being.
How long had they walked together? Three minutes? Five? Yet how large that time seemed now. How immense a figure she was on the stage before him… He felt that if his eye itched, she might blink. And if the muscles of his jaws stretched imperceptibly, she would yawn long before he would. But the "firemen" burn them "for the good of humanity".
>Decision
He knew captain well all his life, she only met, but guessed him with believe and faith.
Captain holds the key to the truth and freedom, yet he must prevent it open.
If she must take a decision, not to stalemate, but give up her truth and freedom to support Captain and protect his honored position.
If Captain gives up his truth and freedom, his supporters should follow.
Never doubt and no need to Worry
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; but empties today of its strength.
Note from heaven: on 59th year, play the safety for Captain, for his happiness and healthy, distill Captain away from the troubles of mind and troubles of heart.
