Ray Bradbury
Image
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.
Ray Bradbury

It could reach up and grab the moon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.
Ray Bradbury
Image
My business is to prevent the future.
Ray Bradbury
