More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.
Ray Bradbury
This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.
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
Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
Ray Bradbury
If you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.
Ray Bradbury
Those who live in the best cliffs think they are better than us. That is always man's attitude when he has power.
Ray Bradbury
My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury
And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.
Ray Bradbury
No person ever died that had a family.
Ray Bradbury
It was a great place to write a novel about book burning, in the library basement.
Ray Bradbury
Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.
Ray Bradbury
I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.
Ray Bradbury
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Ray Bradbury
It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
Ray Bradbury
We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.
Ray Bradbury
There is only one type of story in the world-your story.
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
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
