Ray Bradbury
Image
And besides, I like to cry. After I cry hard it's like it's morning again and I'm starting the day over.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here.
Ray Bradbury

There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Halloween. Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws. Slide and creep. But why? What for? How? Who? When! Where did it all begin? 'You don't know, do you?' asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud climbing out under the pile of leaves under the Halloween Tree. 'You don't really know!'
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A book is a loaded gun.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I did what most writers do at their beginnings: emulated my elders, imitated my peers, thus turning away from any possibility of discovering truths beneath my skin and behind my eye.
