Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.
Ray Bradbury

Creativity is a continual surprise.

A life's work should be based on love.
Ray Bradbury

My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury

Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury

I'm not trying to PREDICT the future. I'm just trying to PREVENT it.

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.

Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.

I have fun with ideas I play with them.
