More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.
Ray Bradbury
Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damm insane mistakes!
Ray Bradbury
A single face turned upward toward all Time One flesh, one ecstasy, one peace.
Ray Bradbury
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total! It's a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That's what science fiction is about.
Ray Bradbury
Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.
Ray Bradbury
We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.
Ray Bradbury
Think of Shakespeare and Melville and you think of thunder, lightning, wind. They all knew the joy of creating in large or small forms, on unlimited or restricted canvases. These are the children of the gods.
Ray Bradbury
It could reach up and grab the moon.
Ray Bradbury
I’m really alive! he thought. I never knew it before, or if I did I don’t remember!
Ray Bradbury
I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.
Ray Bradbury
The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven if you still know everything you're still seventeen.
Ray Bradbury
The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!
Ray Bradbury
Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.
Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
I laugh until I weep And weep until I smile
Ray Bradbury
We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray Bradbury
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
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
Why live? Life was its own answer. Life was the propagation of more life and the living of as good a life as possible.
Ray Bradbury
