More quotes by Ray Bradbury
How talented was death. How many expressions and manipulations of hand, face, body, no two alike.
Ray Bradbury
Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity. They live inside the gift, know power, accept, and need not mention it. Why speak of time when you are Time, and shape the universal moments, as they pass, into warmth and action?
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
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
Ray Bradbury
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
My goal is to entertain myself and others.
Ray Bradbury
I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.
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
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
You don't organize metaphors . . . you explode them.
Ray Bradbury
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
If you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
Ray Bradbury
Who has more pockets than a magician? A boy. Whose pockets contain *more* than a magicians? A boy's.
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
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury
