You feed yourself. Make sure ...

You feed yourself. Make sure you have all the information, whether it's aesthetic, scientific, mathematical, I don't care what it is. Then you walk away from it and let it ferment. You ignore it and pretend you don't care. Next thing you know, the answer comes.

But souls can't be sold. They can only be lost and never found again.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I don't like realism. We alre...

I don't like realism. We already know the real facts about li[fe], most of the basic facts. I'm not interested in repeating what we already know. We know about sex, about violence, about murder, about war. All these things, by the time we're 18, we're up to here. From there on we need interpreters. We need poets. We need philosophers. We need theologians, who take the same basic facts and work with them and help us make do with those facts. Facts alone are not enough. It's interpretation.

You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do—and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s the bore of all time. A lot of the people whose work they’ve taught in the schools for the last thirty years, I can’t understand why people read them and why they are taught.

Hold summer in your hand, pou...

Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course, the smallest tingling sip, for children; change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in.

I don't think about what I do. I do it. That's Buddhism. I jump off the cliff and build my wings on the way down.

I laugh until I weep And weep until I smile

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I've never been in charge of my stories, they've always been in charge of me. As each new one has called to me, ordering me to give it voice and form and life, I've followed the advice I've shared with other writers over the years: jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.

When a man talks from his heart, in his moment of truth, he speaks poetry.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The first thing a writer should be is - excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Without such vigor, he might as well be out picking peaches or digging ditches; God knows it'd be better for his health.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The Internet is a big distraction. It's distracting, it's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere.

...I mean, you don't just love people, you must LOVE them with exclamation points.

An athlete may run ten thousand miles in order to prepare for one hundred yards. Quantity gives experience.

There's a lot of crap out there. Most of the science fiction films alone are abominations, you know. They're mindless. So you can't learn from those kinds of films.

Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Why live? Life was its own answer. Life was the propagation of more life and the living of as good a life as possible.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You don't pay any attention to anything anyone else says, no opinions. The important thing is to explode with a story, to emotionalize a story, not to think it. You start thinking - the story's going to die on its feet.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

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.

I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.
