If you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Good to evil seems evil
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
Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray Bradbury
I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now that's a beginning.
Ray Bradbury
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.
Ray Bradbury
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
Ray Bradbury
Through lack of education, we're not teaching kids to read and write. So there is the danger that you raise up a generation of morons.
Ray Bradbury
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Are you happy? she [Clarisse] said. Am I what? he [Montag] cried. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently.
Ray Bradbury
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
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
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
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
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
The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.
Ray Bradbury
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
