More quotes by Ray Bradbury

Image
Suddenly the day was gone, night came out from under each tree and spread.
Ray Bradbury
Image
In that film Love Story, there's a line, Love means never having to say you're sorry. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you're sorry every day for some little thing or other.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.
Ray Bradbury
Image
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury

How many times can a man go down and still be alive?
Ray Bradbury

Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury
Image
People try to force things. It's disastrous. Just leave your mind alone. Your intuition knows what it wants to write, so get out of the way.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. Longchenpa Let's stuff our eyes with wonder, let's live as if we'd drop dead in ten seconds. Let's see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
Ray Bradbury
Image
No person ever died that had a family.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I am not a science fiction writer. I am a fantasy writer. But the label got put on me and stuck.
Ray Bradbury

Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.
Ray Bradbury

When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.
