More quotes by Ray Bradbury

Image
I did what most writers do at their beginnings: emulated my elders, imitated my peers, thus turning away from any possibility of discovering truths beneath my skin and behind my eye.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A science fiction story is just an attempt to solve a problem that exists in the world, sometimes a moral problem, sometimes a physical or social or theological problem.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Night had come on like the closing of a great but gentle eye.
Ray Bradbury

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
Ray Bradbury

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury

Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
Ray Bradbury

Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.
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
Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Today we haved touched Mars. There is life on Mars, and it us us-extensions of our eyes in all directions, extensions of our mind, extensions of our heart and soul have touched Mars today. That's the message to look for there: We are on Mars. We are the Martians!

I don't tell anyone how to write and no one tells me.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.

Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury
