Quote

You're not like the others. I've seen a few I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.

A life's work should be based on love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Go out and make your own speeches. People need you. Go on TV. It can be done. After you speak up a few times, people say, Hey, we got a crazy man in the community, and they'll begin talking to you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write. Don't think. Relax.

If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury

A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
Ray Bradbury

I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.
Ray Bradbury

Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
Image
With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Can't you recognize the human in the inhuman?
Ray Bradbury
Image
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It could reach up and grab the moon.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
