More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I have spent my life going from mania to mania. Somehow it has all paid off.
Ray Bradbury
I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.
Ray Bradbury
If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury
We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.
Ray Bradbury
That's the good part of dying when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.
Ray Bradbury
I don't tell anyone how to write and no one tells me.
Ray Bradbury
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them. Yet if I were asked to name the most important items in a writer's make-up, the things that shape his material and rush him along the road he wants to go. I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.
Ray Bradbury
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
Heaven is a house with porch lights.
Ray Bradbury
Do you ever read any of the books you burn? He laughed. That's against the law! Oh. Of course.
Ray Bradbury
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
Ray Bradbury
No person ever died that had a family.
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
What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked. 'Sometimes twice.
Ray Bradbury
The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
Ray Bradbury
I don't believe in colleges and universities.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
Ray Bradbury
