But with the library, it's like catnip, I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there's so much to look at and read.

Teachers are to inspire librarians are to fulfill.

A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.

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.

Collecting facts is important. Knowledge is important. But if you don't have an imagination to use the knowledge, civilization is nowhere.

The history of science fiction started in the caves 20,000 years ago. The ideas on the walls of the cave were problems to be solved. It's problem solving. Primitive scientific knowledge, primitive dreams, primitive blueprinting: to solve problems.
Ray Bradbury

Out in the world not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather anything might happen, always did.

The local TV news is the greatest danger in your life. It's all crap.
Ray Bradbury
Image
My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.

Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.

Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
Ray Bradbury

This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.

Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
