Quotes by Ray Bradbury
- I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
- I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.
- I have total recall. I remember being born. I remember being in the womb, I remember being inside. Coming out was great.
- I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
- I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.
- I'm not in control of my muse. My muse does all the work.
- If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.
- If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
- If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
- If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
- If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
- It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
