I don't believe in colleges and universities.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Into the air, over the valleys, under the stars, above a river, a pond, a road, flew Cecy. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We've been so busy damning ourselves for years. We've done it all, and yet we don't take credit for it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Men are nuts. Young men are crazy. We all love toys. I'm toy oriented. I write about toys. I've got a lot of toys. Hundreds of things. But computers are toys, and men like to mess around with smart dumb things. They feel creative.

Impossible for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?
Ray Bradbury
Image
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

Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.

I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image

Education is purely an issue of learning - we can no longer afford to have it polluted by damn politics. Leave pollution up to the politicians
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime. I know everything worth knowing about myself-- ~Something Wicked This Way Comes
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I am not a science fiction writer. I am a fantasy writer. But the label got put on me and stuck.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, There are no answers.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I shall remain on Mars and read a book.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I believe in Darwin and God together.
