Image
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’ve often been accused of being too emotional and sentimental, but I believe in honest sentiment, and the need to purge ourselves at certain times, which is ancient. Men would live at least five or six more years and not have ulcers if they could cry better.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice!
Ray Bradbury
Image
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
Image
People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn't cry. For it would be the dying face of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’m really alive! he thought. I never knew it before, or if I did I don’t remember!
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
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle burning too long and now collapsing and now blown out.
Ray Bradbury
Image
For about 150 days a year in Venice, the sun doesn't show through the mist until noon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The stars are yours, if you have the head, the hands, and the heart for them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
Ray Bradbury

Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
Ray Bradbury
