Night had come on like the closing of a great but gentle eye.
Ray Bradbury
I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now that's a beginning.
Ray Bradbury
It was only the other night everything was fine and the next thing I know Im drowning. How many times can a man go down and still be alive? I can't breathe
Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury
You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.
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
What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked. 'Sometimes twice.
Ray Bradbury
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
Ray Bradbury
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
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
I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.
Ray Bradbury
If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
Ray Bradbury
People try to force things. It's disastrous. Just leave your mind alone. Your intuition knows what it wants to write, so get out of the way.
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
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
Remember, Montag, we're the happiness boys. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought.
Ray Bradbury
We were put here as witnesses to the miracle of life. We see the stars, and we want them. We are beholden to give back to the universe. If we make landfall on another star system, we become immortal.
Ray Bradbury
I have four daughters and eight grandchildren. My soul lives on in them. That's immortality. That's the only immortality I care about.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!
Ray Bradbury
