More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.
Ray Bradbury
Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Ray Bradbury
All isn't well with the world.
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
There is only one type of story in the world-your story.
Ray Bradbury
You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.
Ray Bradbury
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.
Ray Bradbury
The things that you do should be things that you love, and things that you love should be things that you do.
Ray Bradbury
I don't understand this whole thing about computers and the superhighway. Who wants to be in touch with all of those people?
Ray Bradbury
I have spent my life going from mania to mania. Somehow it has all paid off.
Ray Bradbury
The world, like a great iris of an even more gigantic eye, which has also just opened and stretched out to encompass everything, stared back at him.
Ray Bradbury
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry, thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry. Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain, the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still, and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
Ray Bradbury
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
Ray Bradbury
Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
Ray Bradbury
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!?
