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
The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. Longchenpa Let's stuff our eyes with wonder, let's live as if we'd drop dead in ten seconds. Let's see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Memory is an illusion, nothing more. It is a fire that needs constant tending.
Ray Bradbury
Image
For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn't cry. For it would be the dying face of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A single face turned upward toward all Time One flesh, one ecstasy, one peace.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his sense, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Ray Bradbury

Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered...sealed away for opening on a January day with snow falling fast and the sun unseen for weeks.
