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

Why is it, he said, one time, at the subway entrance, I feel I've known you so many years? Because I like you, she said, and I don't want anything from you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done.

Programs like 'Jeopardy' and 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' are ridiculous. They're the stupidest shows in history. They're making us dumber. They don't give us information, they give us facts, factoids. You don't learn who Napoleon was and how he was motivated. You learn what year he was born, and when he died. That's useless.
Ray Bradbury

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.
Ray Bradbury

I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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.

Those women like to see their tongues dance.

My job is to help you fall in love.

The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury

Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle burning too long and now collapsing and now blown out.

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

Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
