Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.
Ray Bradbury
Life is about trying things to see if they work.
Ray Bradbury
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
It was a pleasure to burn.
Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury
What do you do, go around trying everything once?' he asked. 'Sometimes twice.
Ray Bradbury
Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.
Ray Bradbury
Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.
Ray Bradbury
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal.
Ray Bradbury
When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury
The most dangerous thing you can do is know who you are.
Ray Bradbury
I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.
Ray Bradbury
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
As a result of reading science fiction when I was eight, I grew up with an interest in music, architecture, city planning, transportation, politics, ethics, aesthetics on any level, art...it's just total! It's a complete commitment to the whole human race on all the Earth. That's what science fiction is about.
Ray Bradbury
Marriage made people old and familiar, while still young.
Ray Bradbury
If someone sends you a love letter you've got to answer back.
Ray Bradbury
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
My job is to help you fall in love.
Ray Bradbury
You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.
Ray Bradbury
