More quotes by Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys.
Ray Bradbury
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
Ray Bradbury
I'll be darned! said Douglas. I never thought of that. That's brilliant! It's true. Old people never were children! And it's kind of sad, said Tom, sitting still.There's nothing we can do to help them.
Ray Bradbury
In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
Ray Bradbury
Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
Ray Bradbury
When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.
Ray Bradbury
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. Longchenpa Let's stuff our eyes with wonder, let's live as if we'd drop dead in ten seconds. Let's see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury
The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
Ray Bradbury
The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.
Ray Bradbury
I’m really alive! he thought. I never knew it before, or if I did I don’t remember!
Ray Bradbury
Through lack of education, we're not teaching kids to read and write. So there is the danger that you raise up a generation of morons.
Ray Bradbury
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
You're not like the others. I've seen a few I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.
Ray Bradbury
The father hesitated only a moment. He felt the vague pain in his chest. If I run, he thought, what will happen? Is Death important? No. Everything that happens before Death is what counts. And we've done fine tonight. Even Death can't spoil it.
Ray Bradbury
My goal is to entertain myself and others.
Ray Bradbury
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
Ray Bradbury
But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority
Ray Bradbury
Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.
Ray Bradbury
When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
Ray Bradbury
