Well, after all, this is the ...

Well, after all, this is the age of the disposable tissue. Blow your nose on a person, wad them, flush them away, reach for another, blow, wad, flush. Everyone using everyone else's coattails. How are you supposed to root for the home team when you don't even have a program or know the names? For that matter, what color jersey's are they reading as they trot out to the feild?

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

To sum it all up, if you want...

To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must write dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

...passing swiftly on toward ...

...passing swiftly on toward further darknesses, but moving also toward a new sun.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. [...] The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Dandelion wine. The words wer...

Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered...sealed away for opening on a January day with snow falling fast and the sun unseen for weeks.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Only if the third necessary t...

Only if the third necessary thing could be given us. Number one, as I said: quality of information. Number two: leisure to digest it. And number three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

[His] library was a fine dark...

[His] library was a fine dark place bricked with books, so anything could happen there and always did. All you had to do was pull a book from the shelf and open it and suddenly the darkness was not so dark anymore.

This is the result of six billion years of evolution. Tonight, we have given the lie to gravity.We have reached for the stars.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

It doesn't matter what you do...

It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The ability to "fantasize" is...

The ability to "fantasize" is the ability to survive. It's wonderful to speak about this subject because there have been so many wrong-headed people dealing with it.... The so-called realists are trying to drive us insane, and I refuse to be driven insane.... We survive by fantasizing. Take that away from us and the whole damned human race goes down the drain.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

My passions drive me to the t...

My passions drive me to the typewriter every day of my life, and they have driven me there since I was twelve. So I never have to worry about schedules. Some new thing is always exploding in me, and it schedules me, I don’t schedule it. It says: Get to the typewriter right now and finish this.

Every day is Christmas Day to a dog.

Melt all the guns, I thought,...

Melt all the guns, I thought, break the knives, burn the guillotines-and the malicious will still write letters that kill.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

It's important to read a book...

It's important to read a book, but also to hold the book, to smell the book... it's perfume, it's incense, it's the dust of Egypt.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

This is the emotional thing, ...

This is the emotional thing, you see - you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.

No person ever died that had a family.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Action is hope. At the end of...

Action is hope. At the end of each day, when you've done your work, you lie there and think, Well, I'll be damned, I did this today. It doesn't matter how good it is, or how bad-you did it. At the end of the week you'll have a certain amount of accumulation. At the end of a year, you look back and say, I'll be damned, it's been a good year.

I was not predicting the future, I was trying to prevent it.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

How men envy and often hate t...

How men envy and often hate these warm clocks, these wives, who know they will live forever. So what do we do? We men turn terribly mean, because we can't hold to the world or ourselves or anything. We are blind to continuity, all breaks down, falls, melts, stops, rots, or runs away. So, since we cannot shape Time, where does that leave men? Sleepless. Staring.

Why would you clone people when you can go to bed with them and make a baby? C'mon, it's stupid.
