More quotes by Ray Bradbury
My gosh, if you’re going away, we got a million things to talk about! All the things we would’ve talked about next month, the month after! Praying mantises, zeppelins, acrobats, sword swallowers!
Ray Bradbury
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it.
Ray Bradbury
If you write a hundred short stories and they're all bad, that doesn't mean you've failed. You fail only if you stop writing.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.
Ray Bradbury
If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
Ray Bradbury
What is The Subconscious to every other man, in its creative aspect becomes, for writers, The Muse.
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
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy. Something's missing.
Ray Bradbury
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
Most of us can't rush around, talk to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for... are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book.
Ray Bradbury
I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.
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
Savory...that's a swell word. And Basil and Betel. Capsicum. Curry. All great. But Relish, now, Relish with a capital R. No argument, that' the best.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here.
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury
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
