More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
I want to hold onto this funny thing. God, it's gotten big on me. I don't know what it is. I'm so damned unhappy, I'm so mad, and I don't know why. I feel like I'm putting on weight. I feel fat. I feel like I'm saving a lot of things, and I don't know what. I might even start reading books.
Ray Bradbury
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
If teachers and grammar school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture.
Ray Bradbury
Kerosene, he said, because the silence had lengthened, is nothing but perfume to me.
Ray Bradbury
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Ray Bradbury
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
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury
For about 150 days a year in Venice, the sun doesn't show through the mist until noon.
Ray Bradbury
Impossible for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.
Ray Bradbury
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!
Ray Bradbury
I write all of my novels and stories, as you have seen, in a great surge of delightful passion. Only recently, glancing at the novel, I realized that Montag is named after a paper manufacturing company. And Faber, of course, is a maker of pencils! What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus. And not tell me!
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
Programs like 'Jeopardy' and 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' are ridiculous. They're the stupidest shows in history. They're making us dumber. They don't give us information, they give us facts, factoids. You don't learn who Napoleon was and how he was motivated. You learn what year he was born, and when he died. That's useless.
Ray Bradbury
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
Heaven is a house with porch lights.
Ray Bradbury
