More quotes by Ray Bradbury
It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
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
The human race likes to give itself airs. One good volcano can produce more greenhouse gases in a year than the human race has in its entire history.
Ray Bradbury
The whole concept of higher education is negated unless the sole criterion used to determine if students qualify is the grades they score on standardized tests. Education is purely an issue of learning - we can no longer afford to have it polluted by damn politics. Leave pollution up to the politicians
Ray Bradbury
There's no reason to burn books if you don't read them.
Ray Bradbury
Love what you do and do what you love.
Ray Bradbury
The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.
Ray Bradbury
The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.
Ray Bradbury
Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness
Ray Bradbury
Screenplays are not writing. They're a fake form of writing. It's a lot of dialogue and very little atmosphere. Very little description. Very little character work. It's very dangerous. You'll never learn to write.
Ray Bradbury
And they were all, when their souls grew warm, poets.
Ray Bradbury
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
Ray Bradbury
I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
Ray Bradbury
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
Journalism keeps you planted in the earth.
Ray Bradbury
Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.
Ray Bradbury
When the wind is right, a faint odor of kerosene is exhaled from Senator McCarthy.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'
Ray Bradbury
... bums on the outside, libraries inside.
Ray Bradbury
Painting fulfills a need to be non-intellectual. There are times when we have to get our brains out in our fingers.
Ray Bradbury
