More quotes by Ray Bradbury
For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.
Ray Bradbury
My gosh, if you’re going away, we got a million things to talk about! All the things we would’ve talked about next month, the month after! Praying mantises, zeppelins, acrobats, sword swallowers!
Ray Bradbury
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no charge left. You can't father children that way.
Ray Bradbury
You're insane! I won't argue that point.
Ray Bradbury
What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
Who has more pockets than a magician? A boy. Whose pockets contain *more* than a magicians? A boy's.
Ray Bradbury

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
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
Ray Bradbury
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
Ray Bradbury
If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.
Ray Bradbury
