Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damm insane mistakes!
