I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.

Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?

Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back.
Ray Bradbury
Image
A science fiction story is just an attempt to solve a problem that exists in the world, sometimes a moral problem, sometimes a physical or social or theological problem.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We should go to the moon and prepare a base to fire a rocket off to Mars and then go to Mars and colonize Mars. Then when we do that, we will live forever.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Ideas result from the collision of metaphors inside the head.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Through lack of education, we're not teaching kids to read and write. So there is the danger that you raise up a generation of morons.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
Ray Bradbury
