More quotes by Ray Bradbury
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
Ray Bradbury
Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.
Ray Bradbury
Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
Ray Bradbury
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn't afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
Ray Bradbury
I want to hold onto this funny thing. God, it's gotten big on me. I don't know what it is. I'm so damned unhappy, I'm so mad, and I don't know why. I feel like I'm putting on weight. I feel fat. I feel like I'm saving a lot of things, and I don't know what. I might even start reading books.
Ray Bradbury
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total! It's a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That's what science fiction is about.
Ray Bradbury
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.
Ray Bradbury
When you're older you want to learn from other people.
Ray Bradbury
Those women like to see their tongues dance.
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury
I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
Ray Bradbury
There was her face, like a summer peach, beautiful and warm, and the light of the candles reflected in her dark eyes. [He] held his breath. The entire world waited and held its breath.
Ray Bradbury
And some day well remember so much that well build the biggest goddam steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up.
Ray Bradbury
