Image
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury

Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?
Ray Bradbury
Image
He raged for hours. And the skeleton, ever the frail and solelmn philosopher, hung quietly inside, saying not a word, suspended like a delicate insect within a chrysalis, waiting and waiting.
Ray Bradbury
Image
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
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.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The critics are generally wrong, or they're fifteen, twenty years late. It's a great shame. They miss out on a lot.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.

Image
Heaven is a house with porch lights.

Image
For about 150 days a year in Venice, the sun doesn't show through the mist until noon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.
Ray Bradbury
Image
What are you up to now? I'm sill crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.

Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
