Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
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.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We have too many cellphones. We've got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.
