Image
Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
And he remembered thinking then that if she died, he was certain he wouldn't cry. For it would be the dying face of an unknown, a street face, a newspaper image, and it was suddenly so very wrong that he had begun to cry, not at death but at the thought of not crying at death, a silly empty man near a silly empty woman.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to knock on her door and ask for it back.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Write. Don't think. Relax.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He raged for hours. And the skeleton, ever the frail and solelmn philosopher, hung quietly inside, saying not a word, suspended like a delicate insect within a chrysalis, waiting and waiting.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I feel I'm doing what I should've done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science fiction is really sociological studies of the future, things that the writer believes are going to happen by putting two and two together.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I was partially raised by an aunt who was a dress designer, so I was around her studio all of my early life. I know materials. I can look through Harper's Bazaar and decide what works and what doesn't, or any other magazine, Seventeen if you wish.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Most of us can't rush around, talk to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for... are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Not to write, for many of us, is to die.
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
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Self-consciousness is the enemy of all art, be it acting, writing, painting, or living itself, which is the greatest art of all.
Ray Bradbury
