The Martians were there - in the canal - reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones.
Ray Bradbury
Savory...that's a swell word. And Basil and Betel. Capsicum. Curry. All great. But Relish, now, Relish with a capital R. No argument, that' the best.
Ray Bradbury
But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, Montag, we're the happiness boys. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought.
Ray Bradbury
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
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
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury
Here at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.
Ray Bradbury
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
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
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
Ray Bradbury
If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn't afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury
You're not like the others. I've seen a few I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.
Ray Bradbury
All isn't well with the world.
Ray Bradbury
I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
