Quote

Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.

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.

Ray Bradbury
Image
I am madness maddened when it comes to books, writers, and the great granary silos where their wits are stored.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones.
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
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury

I used to take my short stories to girls' homes and read them to them. Can you imagine the reaction reading a short story to a girl instead of pawing her?
