More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered...sealed away for opening on a January day with snow falling fast and the sun unseen for weeks.
Ray Bradbury
Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is really sociological studies of the future, things that the writer believes are going to happen by putting two and two together.
Ray Bradbury
Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.
Ray Bradbury
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.
Ray Bradbury
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
Ray Bradbury
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
Ray Bradbury
Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.
Ray Bradbury
A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
Halloween. Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws. Slide and creep. But why? What for? How? Who? When! Where did it all begin? 'You don't know, do you?' asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud climbing out under the pile of leaves under the Halloween Tree. 'You don't really know!'
Ray Bradbury
There is only one type of story in the world-your story.
Ray Bradbury
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
Ray Bradbury
Can't you recognize the human in the inhuman?
Ray Bradbury
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn't crying for him at all, but for the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again.
Ray Bradbury
The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
Ray Bradbury
So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.
Ray Bradbury
The reason I shift gears constantly, why I'm doing an opera, why I've done essays, why I've written poetry for years that nobody wanted, why I do short stories and novels and screenplays... is so I will have new ways of failing. This means becoming a student again.
