More quotes by Ray Bradbury
The critics are generally wrong, or they're fifteen, twenty years late. It's a great shame. They miss out on a lot.
Ray Bradbury
You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.
Ray Bradbury
I don't talk things, sir. I talk the meaning of things.
Ray Bradbury
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
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
I feel like I’ve been saving up a lot of things, and I don’t know what.
Ray Bradbury
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.
Ray Bradbury
You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.
Ray Bradbury
I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done.
Ray Bradbury
Ah, art! Ah, life! The pendulum swinging back and forth, from complex to simple, again to complex. From romantic to realistic, back to romantic.
Ray Bradbury
Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Ray Bradbury
I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.
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
Don't they get afraid, then? They have a religion for that.
Ray Bradbury
A library is all the university you will ever need.
Ray Bradbury
If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.
Ray Bradbury
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Get rid of those friends of yours who make fun of you and don't believe in you. And when you leave here tonight, go home, make a phone call and fire them. Anyone that doesn't believe in you and your future, to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
