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
People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't like to go to theaters, because I don't like the way most people behave in theaters.
Ray Bradbury
Image
If you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write. Don't think. Relax.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
Ray Bradbury

In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
Image
For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
Image
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
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
If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.

Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
