More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Good writers touch life often.
Ray Bradbury
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it.
Ray Bradbury
... bums on the outside, libraries inside.
Ray Bradbury
I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not trying to PREDICT the future. I'm just trying to PREVENT it.
Ray Bradbury
I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot.
Ray Bradbury
I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they're going.
Ray Bradbury
Do you understand now why books are hated and feared? Because they reveal the pores on the face of life. The comfortable people want only the faces of the full moon, wax, faces without pores, hairless, expressionless.
Ray Bradbury
I'll hold on to the world tight some day. I've got one finger on it now that's a beginning.
Ray Bradbury
What church could compete with the fireworks of the pure soul?
Ray Bradbury
I’m ALIVE. Thinking about it, noticing it, is new. You do things and don’t watch. Then all of a sudden you look and see what you’re doing and it’s the first time, really.
Ray Bradbury
This is the emotional thing, you see - you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.
Ray Bradbury
All of the good, weird stories I’ve written are based on things I’ve dredged out of my subconscious. That’s the real stuff. Everything else is fake.
Ray Bradbury
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.
Ray Bradbury
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
Love is easy, and I love writing.
Ray Bradbury
That's the wonderful thing about man he never gets so discouraged or disgusted that he gives up doing it all over again, because he knows very well it is important and WORTH the doing.
Ray Bradbury
How talented was death. How many expressions and manipulations of hand, face, body, no two alike.
Ray Bradbury
If teachers and grammar school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture.
Ray Bradbury
There was her face, like a summer peach, beautiful and warm, and the light of the candles reflected in her dark eyes. [He] held his breath. The entire world waited and held its breath.
Ray Bradbury
