Ray Bradbury
That's the good part of dying when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.
Ray Bradbury

When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?

Ray Bradbury
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
Ray Bradbury
We have too many cellphones. We've got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.
Ray Bradbury
Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.
Ray Bradbury
Who has more pockets than a magician? A boy. Whose pockets contain *more* than a magicians? A boy's.
Ray Bradbury
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.
