Image
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
Ray Bradbury

It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We have too many cellphones. We've got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.
Ray Bradbury

Here at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. I'll be around a long time. A thousand years from now, a whole township of my offspring will be biting sour apples in the gumwood shade.
Ray Bradbury

Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
Marriage made people old and familiar, while still young.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A life's work should be based on love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A single face turned upward toward all Time One flesh, one ecstasy, one peace.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.
Ray Bradbury
