Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We've been so busy damning ourselves for years. We've done it all, and yet we don't take credit for it.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
Ray Bradbury
Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
Ray Bradbury
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total! It's a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That's what science fiction is about.
Ray Bradbury
The local TV news is the greatest danger in your life. It's all crap.
Ray Bradbury
Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
Ray Bradbury
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
All education is self-discovery.
Ray Bradbury
I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.
Ray Bradbury
A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
No use going to class unless you go to the library.
Ray Bradbury
If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.
Ray Bradbury
What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
This was all he wanted now. Some signs that the immense world would accept him and give him the long time he needed to think all the things that must be thought.
Ray Bradbury
