First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
Ray Bradbury
I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.
Ray Bradbury
Those women like to see their tongues dance.
Ray Bradbury
... bums on the outside, libraries inside.
Ray Bradbury
Work is the only answer. I have three rules to live by. One, get your work done. If that doesn't work, shut up and drink your gin. And when all else fails, run like hell!
Ray Bradbury
The first thing a writer should be is - excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Without such vigor, he might as well be out picking peaches or digging ditches God knows it'd be better for his health.
Ray Bradbury
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Impossible for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?
Ray Bradbury
Chock them so ... full of facts they feel stuffed, but absolutely brilliant with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.
Ray Bradbury
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
Ray Bradbury
I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.
Ray Bradbury
To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.
Ray Bradbury
Dad, said Will, his voice very faint. Are you a good person? To you and your mother, yes, I try. But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime, Will. I know everything worth knowing about myself- And, adding it all up...? The sum? As they come and go, and I mostly sit very still and tight, yes, I'm all right.
Ray Bradbury
I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry, thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry. Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain, the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
Ray Bradbury
If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
Ray Bradbury
If you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.
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
What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.
Ray Bradbury
There was her face, like a summer peach, beautiful and warm, and the light of the candles reflected in her dark eyes. [He] held his breath. The entire world waited and held its breath.
Ray Bradbury
