I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The critics are generally wrong, or they're fifteen, twenty years late. It's a great shame. They miss out on a lot.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
Ray Bradbury

People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.
Ray Bradbury

When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury

He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers.

And the lesson was this sit in the sun, head down, within a prickly vine, in a flickery light, or open light, and the world will come to you. The sky will come in its time, bringing rain, and the earth will rise through you, from beneath, and make you rich and make you full.
Ray Bradbury

Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damm insane mistakes!
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't talk things, sir. I talk the meaning of things.
Ray Bradbury

Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you have moved over vast territories and dared to love silly things, you will have learned even from the most primitive items collected and put aside in your life.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It could reach up and grab the moon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those who live in the best cliffs think they are better than us. That is always man's attitude when he has power.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If I was ever a rare fine summer person, that's long ago. Most of us are half-and-half. The August noon in us works to stave off the November chills. We survive by what little Fourth of July wits we've stashed away. But there are times when we're all autumn people.
Ray Bradbury

A life's work should be based on love.

See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream.
