Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Savory...that's a swell word. And Basil and Betel. Capsicum. Curry. All great. But Relish, now, Relish with a capital R. No argument, that' the best.
Ray Bradbury

There is more than one way to burn a book.
Ray Bradbury

What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury
Image
Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

I have fun with ideas I play with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image
Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.
Ray Bradbury
Image
So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.
Ray Bradbury

You can't learn to write that way - by writing directly for the screen. Wait until you're 30. But in the meantime write 200 short stories. You've got to learn how to write!
Ray Bradbury
