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
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury

If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
Image
So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I discovered me in the library. I went to find me in the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
Ray Bradbury

When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.
