More quotes by Ray Bradbury
A life's work should be based on love.
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
Poverty made a sound like a wet cough in the shadows of the room.
Ray Bradbury
I don't like to go to theaters, because I don't like the way most people behave in theaters.
Ray Bradbury
The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.
Ray Bradbury
Chock them so ... full of facts they feel stuffed, but absolutely brilliant with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.
Ray Bradbury
You let the story cool off and then, instead of rewriting it, you relive it.
Ray Bradbury
Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no charge left. You can't father children that way.
Ray Bradbury
Poetry expands the senses and keeps them in prime condition. It keeps you aware of your nose, your eye, your ear, your tongue, your hand.
Ray Bradbury
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, Montag, we're the happiness boys. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought.
Ray Bradbury
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
I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.
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
I wonder how many men, hiding their youngness, rise as I do, Saturday mornings, filled with the hope that Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck will be there waiting as our one true always and forever salvation?
Ray Bradbury
Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.
Ray Bradbury
How long has it been since you wrote a story where your real love or your real hatred somehow got onto the paper? When was the last time you dared release a cherished prejudice so it slammed the page like a lightning bolt?
Ray Bradbury
Kerosene, he said, because the silence had lengthened, is nothing but perfume to me.
Ray Bradbury
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Men are nuts. Young men are crazy. We all love toys. I'm toy oriented. I write about toys. I've got a lot of toys. Hundreds of things. But computers are toys, and men like to mess around with smart dumb things. They feel creative.
Ray Bradbury
