Ray Bradbury

It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury

Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Notoriety and a fat bank balance must come after everything else is finished and done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
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
Image
And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.
Ray Bradbury
