Quote

There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.

Image
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I do a first draft as passionately and as quickly as I can. I believe a story is valid only when it's immediate and passionate, when it dances out of your subconscious. If you interfere in any way, you destroy it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you have moved over vast territories and dared to love silly things, you will have learned even from the most primitive items collected and put aside in your life.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And the lesson was this sit in the sun, head down, within a prickly vine, in a flickery light, or open light, and the world will come to you. The sky will come in its time, bringing rain, and the earth will rise through you, from beneath, and make you rich and make you full.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You either have an imaginative mind or you don't. All of my writing is God-given. I don't write my stories - they write themselves.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science-fiction balances you on the cliff. Fantasy shoves you off.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, 'Take me home!' And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I've written every day in the last 75 years. I've never stopped writing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't tell anyone how to write and no one tells me.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Are you happy? she [Clarisse] said. Am I what? he [Montag] cried. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently.
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
Image
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Marriage made people old and familiar, while still young.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're not like the others. I've seen a few I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
Ray Bradbury
