More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
Ray Bradbury
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless.
Ray Bradbury
First grade is very cheap. It's the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don't do it right.
Ray Bradbury
He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers.
Ray Bradbury
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
Ray Bradbury
The human race likes to give itself airs. One good volcano can produce more greenhouse gases in a year than the human race has in its entire history.
Ray Bradbury
Heaven is a house with porch lights.
Ray Bradbury
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray Bradbury
At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice!
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
Don't write for money. Write because you love to do something. If you write for money, you won't write anything worth reading.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.
Ray Bradbury
Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness
Ray Bradbury
Poetry expands the senses and keeps them in prime condition. It keeps you aware of your nose, your eye, your ear, your tongue, your hand.
Ray Bradbury
The stars are yours, if you have the head, the hands, and the heart for them.
Ray Bradbury
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
