More quotes by Ray Bradbury
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
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
You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.
Ray Bradbury
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
To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.
Ray Bradbury
Evil has only the power we give it.
Ray Bradbury
If you're reluctant to weep, you won't live a full and complete life.
Ray Bradbury
If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him give him one. Better yet, give him none.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is really sociological studies of the future, things that the writer believes are going to happen by putting two and two together.
Ray Bradbury
I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.
Ray Bradbury
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
Ray Bradbury
Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do.
Ray Bradbury
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.
Ray Bradbury
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
You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.
Ray Bradbury
Love is easy, and I love writing.
Ray Bradbury
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury
How many times can a man go down and still be alive?
Ray Bradbury
