Ray Bradbury

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

I've been in love with the future all my life. I'm a futurist. I believe in space travel. I believe in all those things.

My life has been a miracle. I'm a boy who never went to college, who never went to high school. I'm a boy who went to the library.

I sometimes think I have lived in the past, present, and future all at once. I'm a time traveler, you see.

I have been in love with the world for 90 years. I want to keep on living, because I want to see what happens next.

The great thing about my life is I've never gone to work. I've always been playing.

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

I don't need a computer. I have a typewriter. I have a brain. I have a library. I have a wife who types for me.

If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it.

I'm not a guru. I'm a guy who loves to write. That's all.

I'm a boy who never grew up. I'm still running around in the backyard, playing with my toys.

I have been in love with the moon for 80 years, and I still am. I've never gotten over it.

The good news is, I'm still alive. The bad news is, I'm still alive. I'm still writing. I'm still causing trouble.

I believe in writing without a net. No outline, no plot, no characters. Just write.

I'm not a prophet. I'm a historical writer. I write about things that have happened, or things that are happening, or things that are going to happen.

I don't think about the future. I think about today. I think about yesterday. I think about tomorrow. But I don't think about the future.

I'm a very selfish writer. I write for myself. I write to please myself. If other people like it, that's a bonus.

I'm a lover of life. I'm a lover of people. I'm a lover of ideas. I'm a lover of everything.

When I was 12, I decided I was going to live forever. So far, so good.

I don't write for money. I write for love. I write because I can't stop.
