More quotes by Ray Bradbury
I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.
Ray Bradbury
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.
Ray Bradbury
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
Ray Bradbury
We're going to become the martians when we land there. When we explore and build communities, we become the martians. That's a wonderful destiny for all of us.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury
And they were all, when their souls grew warm, poets.
Ray Bradbury
Friendship is an island that you retreat to and you all fall on the floor and laugh at all the other ninnies that don't have enough brains to have your good taste.
Ray Bradbury
Creativity is a continual surprise.
Ray Bradbury
I believe in Darwin and God together.
Ray Bradbury
The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
Ray Bradbury
I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.
Ray Bradbury
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
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
Ray Bradbury
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
I don't understand this whole thing about computers and the superhighway. Who wants to be in touch with all of those people?
Ray Bradbury
Hollywood was a good influence because I was madly in love with films, and the films had a direct influence on me.
Ray Bradbury
