A life's work should be based on love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're peculiar, you're aggravating, yet you're easy to forgive. You say you're seventeen?..How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can't get over it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Image
No use going to class unless you go to the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.
Ray Bradbury

Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
Image
It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And they were all, when their souls grew warm, poets.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.
Ray Bradbury

You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
