You're insane! I won't argue that point.
Ray Bradbury
Image
What are you up to now? I'm sill crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.

A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him.
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 first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.
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
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is easy, and I love writing.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
Image
From now on I hope always to educate myself as best I can. But lacking this, in future I will relaxedly turn back to my secret mind to see what it has observed when I thought I was sitting this one out. We never sit anything out.
Ray Bradbury
Image
So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.
Ray Bradbury
