Everything that happens before Death is what counts.

Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury

The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven if you still know everything you're still seventeen.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Get rid of those friends of yours who make fun of you and don't believe in you. And when you leave here tonight, go home, make a phone call and fire them. Anyone that doesn't believe in you and your future, to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.

I have fun with ideas I play with them.
