Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.

More quotes by Ray Bradbury
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
Life should be touched, not strangled.
Ray Bradbury
In my later years I have looked in the mirror each day and found a happy person staring back. Occasionally I wonder why I can be so happy. The answer is that every day of my life I've worked only for myself and for the joy that comes from writing and creating. The image in my mirror is not optimistic, but the result of optimal behavior.
Ray Bradbury
This is the emotional thing, you see - you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.
Ray Bradbury
There are too many of us, he thought. There are billions of us and that's too many. Nobody knows anyone. Strangers come and violate you. Strangers come and cut your heart out. Strangers come and take your blood. Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life!
Ray Bradbury
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while.
Ray Bradbury
The first thing you learn in life is you're a fool. The last thing you learn in life is you're the same fool.
Ray Bradbury
The first stories I wrote when I was 12 were about Mars and landing on Mars.
Ray Bradbury
You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!
Ray Bradbury
Not to write, for many of us, is to die. We must take ares each and every day, perhaps knowing that the battle cannot be entirely won, but fight we must, if only a gentle bout. The smallest effort to win means, at the end of each day, a sort of victory.
Ray Bradbury
Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.
Ray Bradbury
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
It's rare you get an idea from a dream. I can't really recall a story that ever worked out that way. I think in 35 years of writing, that I've ever had a dream that held up. They're much too dislocated
Ray Bradbury
Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury
Thus through half-belief, we are often doomed to repeat that very past we should have learned from.
Ray Bradbury
He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers.
Ray Bradbury
Night had come on like the closing of a great but gentle eye.
Ray Bradbury
Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.
Ray Bradbury
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
Ray Bradbury
