Dedicated to Toni from Long J. ..................... "Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather always said: a boy or a painting or a house or erect a wall with their hands or a pair of shoes sewn by us. Or a garden planted with our sweat. Anything short, that our hand has touched, so that our soul will go when we die, and when people look at the tree or flower that we planted, we will be there. No matter what you do, my grandfather said, if you change something from what was then the first in something that brings our footprint. The difference between the man who is confined to mow a lawn and a real gardener is in touch, he said. What I saw in the hay might not have been there on that field, but the real gardener and lived there for a lifetime. "
Da 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury
