Source
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, Part Three, "Burning Bright" (Ballantine Books, 1953). Spoken by Granger to Montag, who is recalling his grandfather's advice. As printed: "Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories."
Editorial Note
The line appears in the closing section of Fahrenheit 451, where Granger recounts advice from his grandfather: "Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories." The phrase "he said" belongs to the printed text and marks Granger's grandfather as the original speaker.
The wording that circulates online typically drops the dialogue tag and the closing two sentences, condensing the passage to "Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds." This shortened form is a faithful compression rather than an alteration, but it is not the text as published.
Attribution to Bradbury is correct in the authorial sense: he wrote the passage. The sentiment is voiced by a character recalling another character, which is worth noting for readers who encounter the line presented as Bradbury speaking in his own voice.
