More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Do you ever read any of the books you burn? He laughed. That's against the law! Oh. Of course.
Ray Bradbury
When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good.
Ray Bradbury
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
So in sum, what are we? We are the creatures that know and know too much. That leaves us with such a burden again we have a choice, to laugh or cry. No other animal does either. We do, depending on the season and the need.
Ray Bradbury
I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.
Ray Bradbury
Why live? Life was its own answer. Life was the propagation of more life and the living of as good a life as possible.
Ray Bradbury
Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.
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
And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn't crying for him at all, but for the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again.
Ray Bradbury
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
The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
Ray Bradbury
The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray Bradbury
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
Ray Bradbury
Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury
This was all he wanted now. Some signs that the immense world would accept him and give him the long time he needed to think all the things that must be thought.
Ray Bradbury
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 peculiar, you're aggravating, yet you're easy to forgive. You say you're seventeen?..How odd. How strange. And my wife thirty and yet you seem so much older at times. I can't get over it.
Ray Bradbury
Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity. They live inside the gift, know power, accept, and need not mention it. Why speak of time when you are Time, and shape the universal moments, as they pass, into warmth and action?
Ray Bradbury
I'm inclined to believe you need the psychiatrist.
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
