Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?
Ray Bradbury
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Through lack of education, we're not teaching kids to read and write. So there is the danger that you raise up a generation of morons.
Ray Bradbury
You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it.
Ray Bradbury
First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
Ray Bradbury
I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.
Ray Bradbury
The whole concept of higher education is negated unless the sole criterion used to determine if students qualify is the grades they score on standardized tests. Education is purely an issue of learning - we can no longer afford to have it polluted by damn politics. Leave pollution up to the politicians
Ray Bradbury
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
I don't decide. My secret self decides. I just go with my subconscious. If it wants to do a poem, I do a poem, and if it wants to do a play, I do a play. So I'm not in charge, I'm not in control.
Ray Bradbury
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury
Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury
When the wind is right, a faint odor of kerosene is exhaled from Senator McCarthy.
Ray Bradbury
Halloween. Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws. Slide and creep. But why? What for? How? Who? When! Where did it all begin? 'You don't know, do you?' asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud climbing out under the pile of leaves under the Halloween Tree. 'You don't really know!'
Ray Bradbury
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
Ray Bradbury
Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
Ray Bradbury
Dad, said Will, his voice very faint. Are you a good person? To you and your mother, yes, I try. But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime, Will. I know everything worth knowing about myself- And, adding it all up...? The sum? As they come and go, and I mostly sit very still and tight, yes, I'm all right.
Ray Bradbury
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
