When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Today we haved touched Mars. There is life on Mars, and it us us-extensions of our eyes in all directions, extensions of our mind, extensions of our heart and soul have touched Mars today. That's the message to look for there: We are on Mars. We are the Martians!
Ray Bradbury

Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
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
Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.
Ray Bradbury
Image
An athlete may run ten thousand miles in order to prepare for one hundred yards. Quantity gives experience.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Day, after day, after glorious day, I was falling in love with books.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When the wind is right, a faint odor of kerosene is exhaled from Senator McCarthy.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'
Ray Bradbury
Image
Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?
Ray Bradbury

I'm not a serious person, and I don't like serious people.
