Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.
Ray Bradbury

Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Way out in the country tonight he could smell the pumpkins ripening toward the knife and the triangle eye and the singeing candle.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is the answer to everything. It's the only reason to do anything. If you don't write stories you love, you'll never make it. If you don't write stories that other people love, you'll never make it.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call the theater of morning. All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.

The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
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
I started writing every day. I never stopped.
Ray Bradbury

There is more than one way to burn a book.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The only good writing is intuitive writing. It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise. Then it all comes blurting out and it’s beautiful. I’ve had a sign by my typewriter for 25 years now which reads, ‘DON’T THINK!’
Ray Bradbury

The sun burnt every day. It burnt time.
Ray Bradbury
Image
It's poor judgment', said Grandpa 'to call anything by a name. We don't know what a hobgoblin or a vampire or a troll is. Could be lots of things. You can't heave them into categories with labels and say they'll act one way or another. That'd be silly. They're people. People who do things. Yes, that's the way to put it. People who *do* things.
Ray Bradbury
Image
When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Here at this far lost end of the continent, where the trail wagons had stopped and the people with them.
Ray Bradbury
Image
He felt his smile slide away, melt, fold over and down on itself like a tallow skin, like the stuff of a fantastic candle burning too long and now collapsing and now blown out.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The things that you do should be things that you love, and things that you love should be things that you do.
Ray Bradbury

The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.
Ray Bradbury
