I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
All isn't well with the world.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Impossible for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?
Ray Bradbury

An athlete may run ten thousand miles in order to prepare for one hundred yards. Quantity gives experience.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We meet on the common ground of an uncommon age and share out our gifts of dark and light, good and bad, simple joy and not so simple sorrow.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Science fiction is really sociological studies of the future, things that the writer believes are going to happen by putting two and two together.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray Bradbury
Image
How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I discovered me in the library. I went to find me in the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We're going to become the martians when we land there. When we explore and build communities, we become the martians. That's a wonderful destiny for all of us.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.
Ray Bradbury

Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here.
