All isn't well with the world.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.
Ray Bradbury

It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury

Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
Image
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
Image
In that film Love Story, there's a line, Love means never having to say you're sorry. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you're sorry every day for some little thing or other.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The human race likes to give itself airs. One good volcano can produce more greenhouse gases in a year than the human race has in its entire history.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.
Ray Bradbury
Image
..holding a book but reading the empty spaces.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
From the outer edge of his life, looking back, there was only one remorse, and that was only that he wished to go on living.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Way out in the country tonight he could smell the pumpkins ripening toward the knife and the triangle eye and the singeing candle.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I’ve often been accused of being too emotional and sentimental, but I believe in honest sentiment, and the need to purge ourselves at certain times, which is ancient. Men would live at least five or six more years and not have ulcers if they could cry better.
