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.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.
Ray Bradbury
Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.
Ray Bradbury
You can't try to do things you simply must do them.
Ray Bradbury
What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read?
Ray Bradbury
I don't believe in colleges and universities.
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
Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.
Ray Bradbury
Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.
Ray Bradbury
Edgar Allen Poe really started me when I was 8. I fell in love with everything of his.
Ray Bradbury
The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.
Ray Bradbury
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.
Ray Bradbury
Science fiction is really sociological studies of the future, things that the writer believes are going to happen by putting two and two together.
Ray Bradbury
Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not a serious person, and I don't like serious people.
Ray Bradbury
An athlete may run ten thousand miles in order to prepare for one hundred yards. Quantity gives experience.
Ray Bradbury
If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
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
Day, after day, after glorious day, I was falling in love with books.
Ray Bradbury
Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there was it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.
Ray Bradbury
