Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry, thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry. Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain, the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury

Can't you recognize the human in the inhuman?
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't believe in government. I hate politics. I'm against it. And I hope that sometime this fall, we can destroy part of our government, and next year destroy even more of it. The less government, the happier I will be.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I discovered me in the library. I went to find me in the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. I'll be around a long time. A thousand years from now, a whole township of my offspring will be biting sour apples in the gumwood shade.

Everything is generated through your own will power.
