More quotes by Ray Bradbury

Image
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Remember, Montag, we're the happiness boys. We stand against the small tide of those who want to make everyone unhappy with conflicting theory and thought.
Ray Bradbury
Image
All of my writing is God-given.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The history of science fiction started in the caves 20,000 years ago. The ideas on the walls of the cave were problems to be solved. It's problem solving. Primitive scientific knowledge, primitive dreams, primitive blueprinting: to solve problems.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The Martians were there - in the canal - reflected in the water.... The Martians stared back up at them for a long, long silent time from the rippling water.
Ray Bradbury
Image
This was all he wanted now. Some signs that the immense world would accept him and give him the long time he needed to think all the things that must be thought.
Ray Bradbury
Image
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Oh, what strange wonderful clocks women are. They nest in Time. They make the flesh that holds fast and binds eternity. They live inside the gift, know power, accept, and need not mention it. Why speak of time when you are Time, and shape the universal moments, as they pass, into warmth and action?
Ray Bradbury
Image
The critics are generally wrong, or they're fifteen, twenty years late. It's a great shame. They miss out on a lot.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Disbelief is catching. It rubs off on people.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.
Ray Bradbury
Image
You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
My characters talk to one another, and when it reaches a certain pitch of excitement I jump out of bed and run and trap them before they are gone.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Painting fulfills a need to be non-intellectual. There are times when we have to get our brains out in our fingers.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do three things each night before you go to bed: read a poem, read a short story, read an essay.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.
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.

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.
