More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I have fun with ideas I play with them.
Ray Bradbury
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.
Ray Bradbury
You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
Ray Bradbury
Poetry expands the senses and keeps them in prime condition. It keeps you aware of your nose, your eye, your ear, your tongue, your hand.
Ray Bradbury
You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!
Ray Bradbury
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
Suddenly the day was gone, night came out from under each tree and spread.
Ray Bradbury
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
Ray Bradbury
There are too many of us, he thought. There are billions of us and that's too many. Nobody knows anyone. Strangers come and violate you. Strangers come and cut your heart out. Strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life!
Ray Bradbury
Think of Shakespeare and Melville and you think of thunder, lightning, wind. They all knew the joy of creating in large or small forms, on unlimited or restricted canvases. These are the children of the gods.
Ray Bradbury
And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn't cry. For it would be the dying face of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not a serious person, and I don't like serious people.
Ray Bradbury
I wonder how many men, hiding their youngness, rise as I do, Saturday mornings, filled with the hope that Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck will be there waiting as our one true always and forever salvation?
Ray Bradbury
Venice was and is full of lost places where people put up for sale the last worn bits of their souls, hoping no one will buy.
Ray Bradbury
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
Ray Bradbury
Memory is an illusion, nothing more. It is a fire that needs constant tending.
Ray Bradbury
