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
Image
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
How talented was death. How many expressions and manipulations of hand, face, body, no two alike.
Ray Bradbury
Image
God, here and there, makes madness a calling.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.
Ray Bradbury
Image
With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’ve often been accused of being too emotional and sentimental, but I believe in honest sentiment, and the need to purge ourselves at certain times, which is ancient. Men would live at least five or six more years and not have ulcers if they could cry better.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Screenplays are not writing. They're a fake form of writing. It's a lot of dialogue and very little atmosphere. Very little description. Very little character work. It's very dangerous. You'll never learn to write.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We do need knowledge. And perhaps in a thousand years we might pick smaller cliffs to jump off. The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
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
