Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Nobody listens anymore. I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
From the outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living.
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
I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.
Ray Bradbury
Image
At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice!

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

Don't write for money. Write because you love to do something. If you write for money, you won't write anything worth reading.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury

I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.
Ray Bradbury

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered...sealed away for opening on a January day with snow falling fast and the sun unseen for weeks.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
