Image
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We meet on the common ground of an uncommon age and share out our gifts of dark and light, good and bad, simple joy and not so simple sorrow.
Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image
The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.
Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image
You're peculiar, you're aggravating, yet you're easy to forgive. You say you're seventeen?..How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can't get over it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?
Ray Bradbury
Image
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
