Those women like to see their tongues dance.
Ray Bradbury

I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.

Too late, I found you can't wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.
Ray Bradbury

Why then you're as mad as me. No, madder. For I distrust 'reality' and its moron mother, the universe, while you fasten your innocence to fallible devices which pretend at happy endings.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I believe in Darwin and God together.
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
Image
We have too many cellphones. We've got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We're going to become the martians when we land there. When we explore and build communities, we become the martians. That's a wonderful destiny for all of us.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.
Ray Bradbury

Venice was and is full of lost places where people put up for sale the last worn bits of their souls, hoping no one will buy.
Ray Bradbury
Image
This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.

I love all of the arts. I love motion pictures. I love stage. I love theater.

You let the story cool off and then, instead of rewriting it, you relive it.
