More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.
Ray Bradbury
You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!
Ray Bradbury
Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.
Ray Bradbury
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
Are you happy? she [Clarisse] said. Am I what? he [Montag] cried. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently.
Ray Bradbury
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
Ray Bradbury
It was only the other night everything was fine and the next thing I know Im drowning. How many times can a man go down and still be alive? I can't breathe
Ray Bradbury
So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.
Ray Bradbury
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.
Ray Bradbury
It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
Ray Bradbury
You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
This is the emotional thing, you see - you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.
Ray Bradbury
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
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
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury
I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
