More quotes by Ray Bradbury
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them. Yet if I were asked to name the most important items in a writer's make-up, the things that shape his material and rush him along the road he wants to go. I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.
Ray Bradbury
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
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
Ray Bradbury
Kerosene, he said, because the silence had lengthened, is nothing but perfume to me.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
From the outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living.
Ray Bradbury
For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.
Ray Bradbury
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
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
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
Ray Bradbury
It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones.
Ray Bradbury
And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn't crying for him at all, but for the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again.
Ray Bradbury
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
The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!
Ray Bradbury
I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.
Ray Bradbury
Out in the world not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather anything might happen, always did.
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
