Quote

The human race likes to give itself airs. One good volcano can produce more greenhouse gases in a year than the human race has in its entire history.

You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, 'Take me home!' And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I've written every day in the last 75 years. I've never stopped writing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You're peculiar, you're aggravating, yet you're easy to forgive. You say you're seventeen?..How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can't get over it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Libraries are the center of our lives. There's no use going to a university if you don't live at the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Here at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
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
You don't organize metaphors . . . you explode them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The world, like a great iris of an even more gigantic eye, which has also just opened and stretched out to encompass everything, stared back at him.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.
Ray Bradbury
