I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Men throw huge shadows on the lawn, don't they? Then, all their lives, they try to run to fit the shadows. But the shadows are always longer.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

God, how we get our fingers i...

God, how we get our fingers in each other's clay. That's friendship, each playing the potter to see what shapes we can make of each other.

Libraries are the center of our lives. There's no use going to a university if you don't live at the library.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

There are two races of people...

There are two races of people -- men and women -- no matter what women's libbers would have you pretend. The male is motivated by toys and science because men are born with no purpose in the universe except to procreate. There is lots of time to kill beyond that. They've got to find work. Men have no inherent center to themselves beyond procreating. Women, however, are born with a center. They can create the universe, mother it, teach it, nurture it. Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.

When you reach the stars, boy, yes, and live there forever, all the fears will go, and Death himself will die.

Impossible; for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I believe in having fun first...

I believe in having fun first, and along the way, if you teach people, if you influence people, well and good.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I'm not anyone, I'm just myself; whatever I am, I am something, and now I'm something you can't help.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

They stood there, King of the Hill, Top of the Heap, Ruler of All They Surveyed, Unimpeachable Monarchs and Presidents, trying to understand what it meant to own a world and how big a world really was.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

And what, you ask, does writi...

And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation. So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

The only good writing is intuitive writing. It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise. Then it all comes blurting out and it’s beautiful. I’ve had a sign by my typewriter for 25 years now which reads, ‘DON’T THINK!’

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

When you go home tonight, mak...

When you go home tonight, make a list of the people who are impediments, who don't believe in you, and call them up and tell them, 'Get the hell out of my life.' You don't need them. Writing is tough enough without having people around you who contribute to a writer's insecurity.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

But no man's a hero to himself.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Everything is generated through your own will power. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. This is a democracy. You go where you want to go and do what you want to do.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Science and religion have to ...

Science and religion have to go hand in hand with the mystery, because there's a certain point beyond which you say, "There are no answers."

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts.
