Quote

Go out and make your own speeches. People need you. Go on TV. It can be done. After you speak up a few times, people say, Hey, we got a crazy man in the community, and they'll begin talking to you.

Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.
Ray Bradbury

Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?
Ray Bradbury
Image
First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. Longchenpa Let's stuff our eyes with wonder, let's live as if we'd drop dead in ten seconds. Let's see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray Bradbury

Comic strips introduced me to metaphors. They are pure metaphor, so you learn how to tell a story with symbols, which is a very valuable thing to learn. And I learned that from motion pictures, too, and from poetry. Poetry is mainly metaphor. If it doesn't have a metaphor, it doesn't work.

To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.
Ray Bradbury

I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Men throw huge shadows on the lawn, don't they? Then, all their lives, they try to run to fit the shadows. But the shadows are always longer.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.
Ray Bradbury

At the top of your lungs, shout and listen to the echoes. You must live life at the top of your voice!
Ray Bradbury

I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives.
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.

Write. Don't think. Relax.

I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
