More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless.
Ray Bradbury
If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.
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
Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damm insane mistakes!
Ray Bradbury
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not trying to PREDICT the future. I'm just trying to PREVENT it.
Ray Bradbury
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
Ray Bradbury
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
But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority
Ray Bradbury
This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.
Ray Bradbury
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.
Ray Bradbury
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury
I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.
Ray Bradbury
I am not a science fiction writer. I am a fantasy writer. But the label got put on me and stuck.
Ray Bradbury
A life's work should be based on love.
Ray Bradbury
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury
Collecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don't have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
I was partially raised by an aunt who was a dress designer, so I was around her studio all of my early life. I know materials. I can look through Harper's Bazaar and decide what works and what doesn't, or any other magazine, Seventeen if you wish.
Ray Bradbury
I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.
Ray Bradbury
