So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The Martians were there - in the canal - reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.
Ray Bradbury

The local TV news is the greatest danger in your life. It's all crap.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.

The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven if you still know everything you're still seventeen.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
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

Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
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
When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.
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
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
