Quote

We meet on the common ground of an uncommon age and share out our gifts of dark and light, good and bad, simple joy and not so simple sorrow.

Get rid of those friends of yours who make fun of you and don't believe in you. And when you leave here tonight, go home, make a phone call and fire them. Anyone that doesn't believe in you and your future, to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
Ray Bradbury

The Greek philosophies teach us that we are a combination of dark and light, good and evil, and murderer and savior, hmm? And until we know this completely about ourselves we cannot love well, and we cannot forgive ourselves.
Ray Bradbury

Men are nuts. Young men are crazy. We all love toys. I'm toy oriented. I write about toys. I've got a lot of toys. Hundreds of things. But computers are toys, and men like to mess around with smart dumb things. They feel creative.

Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. Longchenpa Let's stuff our eyes with wonder, let's live as if we'd drop dead in ten seconds. Let's see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Image
How many times can a man go down and still be alive?
Ray Bradbury

It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. I'll be around a long time. A thousand years from now, a whole township of my offspring will be biting sour apples in the gumwood shade.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A single face turned upward toward all Time One flesh, one ecstasy, one peace.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.

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.
