You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.

A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
Image
How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why the Egyptian, Arabic, Abyssinian, Choctaw? Well, what tongue does the wind talk? What nationality is a storm? What country do rains come from? What color is lightning? Where does thunder goe when it dies?
Ray Bradbury

Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury

Love what you do and do what you love.

Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Image
This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.
Ray Bradbury
Image
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write. Don't think. Relax.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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.
