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
Image
I believe in having fun first, and along the way, if you teach people, if you influence people, well and good.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image

Ray Bradbury
Image
We were put here as witnesses to the miracle of life. We see the stars, and we want them. We are beholden to give back to the universe. If we make landfall on another star system, we become immortal.
Ray Bradbury

The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury

The most dangerous thing you can do is know who you are.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
The books are to remind us what asses and fools we are.
Ray Bradbury

Science Fiction has always been and will always be a fable teacher of morality.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’m really alive! he thought. I never knew it before, or if I did I don’t remember!
Ray Bradbury
Image
Into the air, over the valleys, under the stars, above a river, a pond, a road, flew Cecy. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.
Ray Bradbury

You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He raged for hours. And the skeleton, ever the frail and solelmn philosopher, hung quietly inside, saying not a word, suspended like a delicate insect within a chrysalis, waiting and waiting.
