The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
Ray Bradbury
All of my writing is God-given.
Ray Bradbury
Science-fiction balances you on the cliff. Fantasy shoves you off.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.
Ray Bradbury
Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, 'Take me home!' And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I've written every day in the last 75 years. I've never stopped writing.
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
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
Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.
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
Here at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
Ray Bradbury
We're a free society we've got television. We have radio. We have newspapers. We have the videocassette, which is coming into play. These are new freedoms.
Ray Bradbury
Way out in the country tonight he could smell the pumpkins ripening toward the knife and the triangle eye and the singeing candle.
Ray Bradbury
It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.
Ray Bradbury
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
My goal is to entertain myself and others.
Ray Bradbury
And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.
Ray Bradbury
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
