Quote

Into the air, over the valleys, under the stars, above a river, a pond, a road, flew Cecy. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.

Image
I discovered me in the library. I went to find me in the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Nobody listens anymore. I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love what you do and do what you love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I did what most writers do at their beginnings: emulated my elders, imitated my peers, thus turning away from any possibility of discovering truths beneath my skin and behind my eye.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
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
You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
Ray Bradbury

What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
Image
Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
Ray Bradbury
