Into the air, over the valley...

Into the air, over the valleys, under the stars, above a river, a pond, a road, flew Cecy. Invisible as new spring winds, fresh as the breath of clover rising from twilight fields, she flew.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The wind outside nested in ea...

The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats. Tom Skelton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades. From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

We meet on the common ground ...

We meet on the common ground of an uncommon age and share out our gifts of dark and light, good and bad, simple joy and not so simple sorrow.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

In that film Love Story, ther...

In that film Love Story, there's a line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you're sorry every day for some little thing or other.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Why the Egyptian, Arabic, Abyssinian, Choctaw? Well, what tongue does the wind talk? What nationality is a storm? What country do rains come from? What color is lightning? Where does thunder goe when it dies?

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I'm interested in having fun ...

I'm interested in having fun with ideas, throwing them up in the air like confetti and then running under them.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The women in my life have all...

The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go. I have always longed for education, and pillow talk's the best.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.

A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?

Life is like underwear, should be changed twice a day.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You've got to love libraries....

You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I would not see our candle bl...

I would not see our candle blown out in the wind. It is a small thing, this dear gift of life handed us mysteriously out of immensity. I would not have that gift expire... If I seem to be beating a dead horse again and again, I must protest: No! I am beating, again and again, living man to keep him awake and move his limbs and jump his mind... What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You're not like the others. I...

You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Digression is the soul of wit...

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 813 quotes

Quantity produces quality. If...

Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you're doomed.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Do you ever wonder if--well, ...

Do you ever wonder if--well, if there are people living on the third planet?' 'The third planet is incapable of supporting life,' stated the husband patiently. 'Our scientists have said there's far too much oxygen in their atmosphere.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

We must all be alike. Not eve...

We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Venice was and is full of lost places where people put up for sale the last worn bits of their souls, hoping no one will buy.

The first thing you learn in ...

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.
