Image
A single face turned upward toward all Time One flesh, one ecstasy, one peace.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Screenplays are not writing. They're a fake form of writing. It's a lot of dialogue and very little atmosphere. Very little description. Very little character work. It's very dangerous. You'll never learn to write.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I shall remain on Mars and read a book.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’m really alive! he thought. I never knew it before, or if I did I don’t remember!
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
Image
No person ever died that had a family.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I do a first draft as passionately and as quickly as I can. I believe a story is valid only when it's immediate and passionate, when it dances out of your subconscious. If you interfere in any way, you destroy it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Everyone has a telephone. Whether they can afford it or not. It's one of those things that people have, regardless of their income.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.
Ray Bradbury
Image
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury

Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
