Ray Bradbury
I sometimes get up at night when I can't sleep and walk down into my library and open one of my books and read a paragraph and say, 'My God, did I write that?
Ray Bradbury
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
Ray Bradbury
The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers.
Ray Bradbury
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
If you have moved over vast territories and dared to love silly things, you will have learned even from the most primitive items collected and put aside in your life.

Ray Bradbury
Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
Ray Bradbury
It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.
Ray Bradbury
I did what most writers do at their beginnings: emulated my elders, imitated my peers, thus turning away from any possibility of discovering truths beneath my skin and behind my eye.
Ray Bradbury
I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
Ray Bradbury
See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream.
Ray Bradbury
I have something to fight for and live for that makes me a better killer. I've got what amounts to a religion , now .
Ray Bradbury
If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
Ray Bradbury
I am not a science fiction writer. I am a fantasy writer. But the label got put on me and stuck.
Ray Bradbury
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family. I'll be around a long time. A thousand years from now, a whole township of my offspring will be biting sour apples in the gumwood shade.
Ray Bradbury
Do you ever wonder if--well, if there are people living on the third planet?' 'The third planet is incapable of supporting life,' stated the husband patiently. 'Our scientists have said there's far too much oxygen in their atmosphere.
Ray Bradbury
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
Ray Bradbury
