More quotes by 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
Teachers are to inspire librarians are to fulfill.
Ray Bradbury
I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done.
Ray Bradbury
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
I don't like the kind of writer who's out to change the world and beat up on people for their own good. Stalin did that and Hitler did that, and to hell with them.
Ray Bradbury
All education is self-discovery.
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
First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys.
Ray Bradbury
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
Ray Bradbury
You don't organize metaphors . . . you explode them.
Ray Bradbury
The first thing a writer should be is - excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Without such vigor, he might as well be out picking peaches or digging ditches God knows it'd be better for his health.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
Ray Bradbury
Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.
Ray Bradbury
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.
Ray Bradbury
What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked. 'Sometimes twice.
Ray Bradbury
I feel I'm doing what I should've done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you.
Ray Bradbury
Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.
Ray Bradbury
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
Ray Bradbury
Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.
Ray Bradbury
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
Ray Bradbury
