Image
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Friendship is an island that you retreat to and you all fall on the floor and laugh at all the other ninnies that don't have enough brains to have your good taste.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
Ray Bradbury
Image
..holding a book but reading the empty spaces.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't write for money. Write because you love to do something. If you write for money, you won't write anything worth reading.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write. Don't think. Relax.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
Image
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And the lesson was this sit in the sun, head down, within a prickly vine, in a flickery light, or open light, and the world will come to you. The sky will come in its time, bringing rain, and the earth will rise through you, from beneath, and make you rich and make you full.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do you ever read any of the books you burn? He laughed. That's against the law! Oh. Of course.
Ray Bradbury

My business is to prevent the future.
