Farhenheit 451

"Sometimes I sneak around a listen in subways. Or I listen in soda foundations, And do you know what?"

"What."

"People don’t talk about anything."

"Oh, they must."

"No, not anything. They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming pools mostly and say how swell. But they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anyone else."

from Fahrenheit 451
