More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
Ray Bradbury
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.
Ray Bradbury
Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury
I sometimes get up at night when I can't sleep and walk down into my library and open one of my books and read a paragraph and say, 'My God, did I write that?
Ray Bradbury
(...) And metaphors like cats behind your smile, Each one wound up to purr, each one a pride, Each one a fine gold beast you've hid inside (...)
Ray Bradbury
When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.
Ray Bradbury
There are too many of us, he thought. There are billions of us and that's too many. Nobody knows anyone. Strangers come and violate you. Strangers come and cut your heart out. Strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life!
Ray Bradbury
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.
Ray Bradbury
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'
Ray Bradbury
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
Are you happy? she [Clarisse] said. Am I what? he [Montag] cried. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently.
Ray Bradbury
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.
Ray Bradbury
It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury
Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.
Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total! It's a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That's what science fiction is about.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.
Ray Bradbury
There is only one type of story in the world-your story.
Ray Bradbury
