Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.

Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't like the kind of writer who's out to change the world and beat up on people for their own good. Stalin did that and Hitler did that, and to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And I saw then and there you take a man half-bad and a women half-bad and put their two good halves together and you got one human all good to share between.
Ray Bradbury
