More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray Bradbury
And I saw then and there you take a man half-bad and a women half-bad and put their two good halves together and you got one human all good to share between.
Ray Bradbury
He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers.
Ray Bradbury
The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
Ray Bradbury
From now on I hope always to educate myself as best I can. But lacking this, in future I will relaxedly turn back to my secret mind to see what it has observed when I thought I was sitting this one out. We never sit anything out.
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.
Ray Bradbury
No person ever died that had a family.
Ray Bradbury
You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.
Ray Bradbury
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
There are a lot of wonderful women writers who would be good influences on writers. You've got to spread yourself out and educate yourself with all kinds of stories.
Ray Bradbury
God, here and there, makes madness a calling.
Ray Bradbury
You don't organize metaphors . . . you explode them.
Ray Bradbury
Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.
Ray Bradbury
I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.
Ray Bradbury
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
If I was ever a rare fine summer person, that's long ago. Most of us are half-and-half. The August noon in us works to stave off the November chills. We survive by what little Fourth of July wits we've stashed away. But there are times when we're all autumn people.
Ray Bradbury
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
