More quotes by Ray Bradbury

Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Zest. Gusto. How rarely one hears these words used. How rarely do we see people living, or for that matter, creating, by them. Yet if I were asked to name the most important items in a writer's make-up, the things that shape his material and rush him along the road he wants to go. I would only warn him to look to his zest, see to his gusto.
Ray Bradbury
Image
The moon is a good, solid base to build a space travel organization in the community.
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
Image
The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
Ray Bradbury

Joy is the grace we say to God.
Ray Bradbury

Creativity is a continual surprise.
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
I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
Ray Bradbury
Image
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
Image
Memory is an illusion, nothing more. It is a fire that needs constant tending.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I think we're doing a dreadful job of educating.
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
Image
Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those who don't build must burn.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Those who live in the best cliffs think they are better than us. That is always man's attitude when he has power.
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
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
And when he died, I suddenly realized I wasn't crying for him at all, but for the things he did. I cried because he would never do them again.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Writing is like sex. You have to save your love for the love object. If you go around spouting about your idea, there'll be no charge left. You can't father children that way.
Ray Bradbury
