Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury

I sometimes get up at night when I can't sleep and walk down into my library and open one of my books and read a paragraph and say, 'My God, did I write that?
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ah, art! Ah, life! The pendulum swinging back and forth, from complex to simple, again to complex. From romantic to realistic, back to romantic.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
Ray Bradbury

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him.
Ray Bradbury

Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why is it, he said, one time, at the subway entrance, I feel I've known you so many years? Because I like you, she said, and I don't want anything from you.
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
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
Image
Men throw huge shadows on the lawn, don't they? Then, all their lives, they try to run to fit the shadows. But the shadows are always longer.
