More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Think of Shakespeare and Melville and you think of thunder, lightning, wind. They all knew the joy of creating in large or small forms, on unlimited or restricted canvases. These are the children of the gods.
Ray Bradbury
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
Love is easy, and I love writing.
Ray Bradbury
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
The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.
Ray Bradbury
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
Ray Bradbury
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
That's the wonderful thing about man he never gets so discouraged or disgusted that he gives up doing it all over again, because he knows very well it is important and WORTH the doing.
Ray Bradbury
When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?
Ray Bradbury
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.
Ray Bradbury
I was partially raised by an aunt who was a dress designer, so I was around her studio all of my early life. I know materials. I can look through Harper's Bazaar and decide what works and what doesn't, or any other magazine, Seventeen if you wish.
Ray Bradbury
Poverty made a sound like a wet cough in the shadows of the room.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.
Ray Bradbury
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
All education is self-discovery.
Ray Bradbury
I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
Don't write for money. Write because you love to do something. If you write for money, you won't write anything worth reading.
Ray Bradbury
I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot.
Ray Bradbury
It could reach up and grab the moon.
Ray Bradbury
