You let the story cool off and then, instead of rewriting it, you relive it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
... bums on the outside, libraries inside.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Like every beginner, I have thought you could beat, pummel and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment, of course, any decent idea folds up its paws, turns on its back, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Everyone has a telephone. Whether they can afford it or not. It's one of those things that people have, regardless of their income.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Savory...that's a swell word. And Basil and Betel. Capsicum. Curry. All great. But Relish, now, Relish with a capital R. No argument, that' the best.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury

Dad, said Will, his voice very faint. Are you a good person? To you and your mother, yes, I try. But no man's a hero to himself. I've lived with me a lifetime, Will. I know everything worth knowing about myself- And, adding it all up...? The sum? As they come and go, and I mostly sit very still and tight, yes, I'm all right.
Ray Bradbury
Image
How many times can a man go down and still be alive?
Ray Bradbury
Image
The Martians were there - in the canal - reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?

Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
