More quotes by Ray Bradbury
Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
Ray Bradbury
We are all . . . children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.
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
I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.
Ray Bradbury
When rivers flooded, when fire fell from the sky, what a fine place the library was, the many rooms, the books. With luck, no one found you. How could they!--when you were off to Tanganyika in '98, Cairo in 1812, Florence in 1492!?
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
I'm not a serious person, and I don't like serious people.
Ray Bradbury
I don't like to go to theaters, because I don't like the way most people behave in theaters.
Ray Bradbury
We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush.
Ray Bradbury
I feel like I’ve been saving up a lot of things, and I don’t know what.
Ray Bradbury
I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.
Ray Bradbury
If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray Bradbury
I believe in having fun first, and along the way, if you teach people, if you influence people, well and good.
Ray Bradbury
Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
Ray Bradbury
The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive.
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
Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.
Ray Bradbury
Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.
Ray Bradbury
I like to smell things and look at things, and sometimes stay up all night, walking, and watch the sun rise.
Ray Bradbury
Now that I have you thoroughly confused, let me pause to hear your own dismayed cry.
Ray Bradbury
