More quotes by Ray Bradbury
It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
Ray Bradbury
What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
I have my favorite cat, who is my paperweight, on my desk while I am writing.
Ray Bradbury
So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.
Ray Bradbury
I used to take my short stories to girls' homes and read them to them. Can you imagine the reaction reading a short story to a girl instead of pawing her?
Ray Bradbury
Love what you do and do what you love.
Ray Bradbury
I have four daughters and eight grandchildren. My soul lives on in them. That's immortality. That's the only immortality I care about.
Ray Bradbury
I'll be darned! said Douglas. I never thought of that. That's brilliant! It's true. Old people never were children! And it's kind of sad, said Tom, sitting still.There's nothing we can do to help them.
Ray Bradbury
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
Ray Bradbury
In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
Ray Bradbury
Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity. They live inside the gift, know power, accept, and need not mention it. Why speak of time when you are Time, and shape the universal moments, as they pass, into warmth and action?
Ray Bradbury
Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no charge left. You can't father children that way.
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
Painting fulfills a need to be non-intellectual. There are times when we have to get our brains out in our fingers.
Ray Bradbury
You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.
Ray Bradbury
When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.
Ray Bradbury
Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray Bradbury
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
Ray Bradbury
All education is self-discovery.
Ray Bradbury
From the outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living.
Ray Bradbury
