Ray Bradbury
Those women like to see their tongues dance.
Ray Bradbury
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury
Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.
Ray Bradbury
