More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I am not a science fiction writer. I am a fantasy writer. But the label got put on me and stuck.
Ray Bradbury
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not anyone, I'm just myself whatever I am, I am something, and now I'm something you can't help.
Ray Bradbury
Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Ray Bradbury
If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
And I saw then and there you take a man half-bad and a women half-bad and put their two good halves together and you got one human all good to share between.
Ray Bradbury
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.
Ray Bradbury
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
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
When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.
Ray Bradbury
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
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
Ray Bradbury
A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury
What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury
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.
