..holding a book but reading the empty spaces.
Ray Bradbury
What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked. 'Sometimes twice.
Ray Bradbury
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.
Ray Bradbury
Can't you recognize the human in the inhuman?
Ray Bradbury
I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn't afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
Ray Bradbury
That's the good part of dying when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.
Ray Bradbury
I’m ALIVE. Thinking about it, noticing it, is new. You do things and don’t watch. Then all of a sudden you look and see what you’re doing and it’s the first time, really.
Ray Bradbury
You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
Ray Bradbury
You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Out in the world not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather anything might happen, always did.
Ray Bradbury
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
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
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury
Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.
Ray Bradbury
