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

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Friendship is an island that you retreat to and you all fall on the floor and laugh at all the other ninnies that don't have enough brains to have your good taste.
Ray Bradbury
It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
Americans are far more remarkable than we give ourselves credit for. We've been so busy damning ourselves for years. We've done it all, and yet we don't take credit for it.
Ray Bradbury
You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.
Ray Bradbury
There's no reason to burn books if you don't read them.
Ray Bradbury
You can't learn to write that way - by writing directly for the screen. Wait until you're 30. But in the meantime write 200 short stories. You've got to learn how to write!
Ray Bradbury
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury
Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
All flesh is one: what matter scores Or color of the suit Or if the helmet glints with blue or gold? All is one bold achievement, All is fine spring-found-again-in-autumn day When juices run in antelopes along our blood, And green our flag, forever green...
Ray Bradbury
The most dangerous thing you can do is know who you are.
Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
You're insane! I won't argue that point.
Ray Bradbury
My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
There was her face, like a summer peach, beautiful and warm, and the light of the candles reflected in her dark eyes. [He] held his breath. The entire world waited and held its breath.
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray Bradbury
Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury
The Martians were there - in the canal - reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.
Ray Bradbury
