Ray Bradbury
Image
It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury

We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime. I know everything worth knowing about myself-- ~Something Wicked This Way Comes
Ray Bradbury

What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury
Image
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.
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!?
