There's no reason to burn books if you don't read them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't believe in government. I hate politics. I'm against it. And I hope that sometime this fall, we can destroy part of our government, and next year destroy even more of it. The less government, the happier I will be.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
Ray Bradbury

I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't decide. My secret self decides. I just go with my subconscious. If it wants to do a poem, I do a poem, and if it wants to do a play, I do a play. So I'm not in charge, I'm not in control.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I want to hold onto this funny thing. God, it's gotten big on me. I don't know what it is. I'm so damned unhappy, I'm so mad, and I don't know why. I feel like I'm putting on weight. I feel fat. I feel like I'm saving a lot of things, and I don't know what. I might even start reading books.

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Reality and Fiction are different in that fiction has to make sense.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I believe in having fun first, and along the way, if you teach people, if you influence people, well and good.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The father hesitated only a moment. He felt the vague pain in his chest. If I run, he thought, what will happen? Is Death important? No. Everything that happens before Death is what counts. And we've done fine tonight. Even Death can't spoil it.
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
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.

Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.

I am madness maddened when it comes to books, writers, and the great granary silos where their wits are stored.
