More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Love what you do and do what you love.
Ray Bradbury
I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
Ray Bradbury
Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
Ray Bradbury
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.
Ray Bradbury
For about 150 days a year in Venice, the sun doesn't show through the mist until noon.
Ray Bradbury
What are you up to now? I'm sill crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.
Ray Bradbury
Get rid of those friends of yours who make fun of you and don't believe in you. And when you leave here tonight, go home, make a phone call and fire them. Anyone that doesn't believe in you and your future, to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray Bradbury
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
Do you ever read any of the books you burn? He laughed. That's against the law! Oh. Of course.
Ray Bradbury
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
Ray Bradbury
You're insane! I won't argue that point.
Ray Bradbury
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.
Ray Bradbury
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
Ray Bradbury
Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.
Ray Bradbury
I don't tell anyone how to write and no one tells me.
Ray Bradbury
I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.
Ray Bradbury
