You let the story cool off and then, instead of rewriting it, you relive it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Go out and make your own speeches. People need you. Go on TV. It can be done. After you speak up a few times, people say, Hey, we got a crazy man in the community, and they'll begin talking to you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Ray Bradbury

Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him.
Ray Bradbury
Image
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.
Ray Bradbury
Image
For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, Montag, we're the happiness boys. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're insane! I won't argue that point.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Out in the world not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather anything might happen, always did.
Ray Bradbury
