Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury

What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ah, art! Ah, life! The pendulum swinging back and forth, from complex to simple, again to complex. From romantic to realistic, back to romantic.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
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.
