Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Memory is an illusion, nothing more. It is a fire that needs constant tending.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Libraries are the center of our lives. There's no use going to a university if you don't live at the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't like being up high. It took me three days to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives.
Ray Bradbury

I don't tell anyone how to write and no one tells me.
Ray Bradbury
Image
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
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
Image
I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is more than one way to burn a book.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Impossible for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?
Ray Bradbury
Image
And the lesson was this sit in the sun, head down, within a prickly vine, in a flickery light, or open light, and the world will come to you. The sky will come in its time, bringing rain, and the earth will rise through you, from beneath, and make you rich and make you full.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't decide. My secret self decides. I just go with my subconscious. If it wants to do a poem, I do a poem, and if it wants to do a play, I do a play. So I'm not in charge, I'm not in control.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.

The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
