Quote

I don't like the kind of writer who's out to change the world and beat up on people for their own good. Stalin did that and Hitler did that, and to hell with them.

The world, like a great iris of an even more gigantic eye, which has also just opened and stretched out to encompass everything, stared back at him.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There is no future for e-books, because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I feel I'm doing what I should've done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you.
Ray Bradbury

He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers.

Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.

If I was ever a rare fine summer person, that's long ago. Most of us are half-and-half. The August noon in us works to stave off the November chills. We survive by what little Fourth of July wits we've stashed away. But there are times when we're all autumn people.
Ray Bradbury

You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!
Ray Bradbury

You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When your dawn theater sounds to clear your sinuses: don't delay. Jump. Those voices may be gone before you hit the shower to align your wits. Speed is everything. The 90-mph dash to your machine is a sure cure for life rampant and death most real. Make haste to live. Oh, God, yes. Live. And write. With great haste.
Ray Bradbury

The most dangerous thing you can do is know who you are.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, with writing, what you’re looking for is just one person to come up and tell you, 'I love you for what you do.'
Ray Bradbury

Good to evil seems evil
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
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

How to feel your way toward something honest, hidden under the trapdoor on the top of your skull.
Ray Bradbury

I don't believe in colleges and universities.
Ray Bradbury

We're a free society we've got television. We have radio. We have newspapers. We have the videocassette, which is coming into play. These are new freedoms.

I write all of my novels and stories, as you have seen, in a great surge of delightful passion. Only recently, glancing at the novel, I realized that Montag is named after a paper manufacturing company. And Faber, of course, is a maker of pencils! What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus. And not tell me!

Don't write for money. Write because you love to do something. If you write for money, you won't write anything worth reading.
