More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn't afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury
I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now that's a beginning.
Ray Bradbury
Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.
Ray Bradbury
All flesh is one: what matter scores Or color of the suit Or if the helmet glints with blue or gold? All is one bold achievement, All is fine spring-found-again-in-autumn day When juices run in antelopes along our blood, And green our flag, forever green...
Ray Bradbury
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
The only good writing is intuitive writing. It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise. Then it all comes blurting out and it’s beautiful. I’ve had a sign by my typewriter for 25 years now which reads, ‘DON’T THINK!’
Ray Bradbury
Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!
Ray Bradbury
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
Kerosene, he said, because the silence had lengthened, is nothing but perfume to me.
Ray Bradbury
Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.
Ray Bradbury
I don't believe in government. I hate politics. I'm against it. And I hope that sometime this fall, we can destroy part of our government, and next year destroy even more of it. The less government, the happier I will be.
Ray Bradbury
You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.
Ray Bradbury
That's the good part of dying when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.
Ray Bradbury
All of the good, weird stories I’ve written are based on things I’ve dredged out of my subconscious. That’s the real stuff. Everything else is fake.
Ray Bradbury
The things that you do should be things that you love, and things that you love should be things that you do.
Ray Bradbury
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
Ray Bradbury
This is the emotional thing, you see - you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.
Ray Bradbury
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
Ray Bradbury
If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.
Ray Bradbury
