I believe in creative failing - to contine to write poems that fail and fail and fail until a day comes when you've got a thousand poems behind you and you're relaxed and you finally write a good poem.

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

Ideas and philosophies change ...

Ideas and philosophies change just as machines do. Religions changed because of the birth control pill. Politics changes because of the hydrogen bomb. All because of science fictional inventions.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

I was one of Them: the Strange...

I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Chock them so ... full of 'fa...

Chock them so ... full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving.

You'd type like hell. I spent $9.80 and in nine days I had Fahrenheit 451.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

When you write - explode - fly...

When you write - explode - fly apart - disintegrate! Then give time enough to think, cut, rework, and rewrite.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

These are all novels, all abou...

These are all novels, all about people that never existed, the people that read them it makes them unhappy with their own lives. Makes them want to live in other ways they can never really be.

A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.

So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

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

I'll tell you,' said Beatty, ...

I'll tell you,' said Beatty, smiling at his cards. 'That made you for a little while a drunkard. Read a few lines and off you go over the cliff. Bang, you're ready to blow up the world, chop off heads, knock down women and children, destroy authority. I know. I've been through it all.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

That country where it is alway...

That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Some people turn sad awfully y...

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

A book is a loaded gun in the ...

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

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

You're either in love with what you do, or you're not in love.

Ray Bradbury 813 quotes

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.
