We should have stayed on the moon. We should have made moon the base, instead of building space stations, which are fragile and which fly apart.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You take the books, you lie there in the pools of light and you drink life. That is how intensely I have loved libraries.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The novel's not organized like a screenplay. If you shot the novel, you'd have a twelve-hour movie.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

People who take books on sex ...

People who take books on sex to bed become frigid. You get self-conscious. You can't think a story. You can't think, "I shall do a story to improve mankind." Well, it's nonsense. All the great stories, all the really worthwhile plays, are emotional experiences. If you have to ask yourself whether or not you love a girl or you love a boy, forget it. You don't. A story is the same way. You either feel a story and need to write it, or you better not write it.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Treasure this day and Treasure yourself, truly, neither will ever happen again.

Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Anything you dream is fiction...

Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I don't think the robots are ...

I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I don't believe in colleges a...

I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don't have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.

I don't need an alarm clock. ...

I don't need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

People ask me to predict the ...

People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The problem in our country is...

The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us - it's all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The minute you get a religion...

The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The Universe has shouted itse...

The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

There was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Everyone must leave something...

Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The years go by. The time, it...

The years go by. The time, it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes. And it seems like nothing - but when you're looking back ... well, it amounts to everything.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

If someone tells you to do so...

If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.
