It's poor judgment', said Grandpa 'to call anything by a name. We don't know what a hobgoblin or a vampire or a troll is. Could be lots of things. You can't heave them into categories with labels and say they'll act one way or another. That'd be silly. They're people. People who do things. Yes, that's the way to put it. People who *do* things.
Ray Bradbury

All of my writing is God-given.
Ray Bradbury

Out in the world not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather anything might happen, always did.
Ray Bradbury

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.
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 love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.
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
All education is self-discovery.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.

What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury

I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
