Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total!

Ray Bradbury
A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
The sun rose yellow as a lemon.The sky was round and blue.The birds looped clear water songs in the air.Will and Jim leaned from their windows.Nothing had changed.Except the look in Jim's eyes.Last night. . . said Will. Did or didn't it happen?
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury
And some day well remember so much that well build the biggest goddam steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up.
Ray Bradbury
What is The Subconscious to every other man, in its creative aspect becomes, for writers, The Muse.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun.
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
