More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Way out in the country tonight he could smell the pumpkins ripening toward the knife and the triangle eye and the singeing candle.
Ray Bradbury
If you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.
Ray Bradbury
Go out and make your own speeches. People need you. Go on TV. It can be done. After you speak up a few times, people say, Hey, we got a crazy man in the community, and they'll begin talking to you.
Ray Bradbury
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.
Ray Bradbury
I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now that's a beginning.
Ray Bradbury
I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
Ray Bradbury
It's poor judgment', said Grandpa 'to call anything by a name. We don't know what a hobgoblin or a vampire or a troll is. Could be lots of things. You can't heave them into categories with labels and say they'll act one way or another. That'd be silly. They're people. People who do things. Yes, that's the way to put it. People who *do* things.
Ray Bradbury
We're going to become the martians when we land there. When we explore and build communities, we become the martians. That's a wonderful destiny for all of us.
Ray Bradbury
Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Ray Bradbury
Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray Bradbury
Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
Ray Bradbury
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not trying to PREDICT the future. I'm just trying to PREVENT it.
Ray Bradbury
I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.
Ray Bradbury
Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
Ray Bradbury
First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys.
Ray Bradbury
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
