Quotes by Ray Bradbury

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. ...To hell with that!

"'I hate a roman named Status Que!' he said to me. 'stuff your eye with wonder,' he said, 'Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds, see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarentees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day everyday, sleeping its life away. To hell with that,' he said, 'shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.'"

Those who don't build must burn.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

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.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms.  You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like old faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.
