I used multiple levels of quotes here. Up front we have Fahrenheit 451 itself; in the middleground are some literary quotes about burning, fire, et al; in the background are Millay, Whitman and Faulkner*, and any fan of Bradbury’s novel can tell you why I chose them.
* What bit of Faulkner I could use, anyway, given the copyright. I dropped the title of “The Sound and the Fury” (a twist on Shakespeare) and the Agamemnon quote that spawned the title of “As I Lay Dying”. Workarounds are fun.
