More quotes by Ray Bradbury
All flesh is one: what matter scores Or color of the suit Or if the helmet glints with blue or gold? All is one bold achievement, All is fine spring-found-again-in-autumn day When juices run in antelopes along our blood, And green our flag, forever green...
Ray Bradbury
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
I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
I take this continent with me into the grave.
Ray Bradbury
Touch a scientist and you touch a child.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.
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
How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.
Ray Bradbury
Love what you do and do what you love.
Ray Bradbury
I don't like being up high. It took me three days to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Ray Bradbury
There was her face, like a summer peach, beautiful and warm, and the light of the candles reflected in her dark eyes. [He] held his breath. The entire world waited and held its breath.
Ray Bradbury
You either have an imaginative mind or you don't. All of my writing is God-given. I don't write my stories - they write themselves.
Ray Bradbury
First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
Ray Bradbury
Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury
Write. Don't think. Relax.
Ray Bradbury
I shall remain on Mars and read a book.
Ray Bradbury
