Forgive, I hope you won't be upset, but when I was a boy I used to look up and see you behind your desk, so near but far away, and, how can I say this, I used to think that you were Mrs. God, and that the library was a whole world, and that no matter what part of the world or what people or thing I wanted to see and read, you'd find and give it to me.

Wszyscy muszą być podobni jeden do drugiego. Każdy człowiek wizerunkiem innego człowieka. Wtedy wszyscy są szczęśliwi, bo nie ma gór, by się przed nimi zginać ze strachu i porównywać się z nimi. Książka to naładowana broń w sąsiednim domu. Spal ją, rozładuj broń. Rozbij mózg człowieka. Skąd wiadomo, kto mógłby się stać celem oczytanego człowieka?
Ray BradburyI try to keep up with what’s being done in every field, and most children’s books are ten times more enjoyable than the average American novel right now.
Ray BradburyThis is the emotional thing, you see — you must galvanize people, so they want to be completely alive and live forever, or the next thing to it. And out of that comes art, then, and survival through emotion.
Ray BradburyThe processes we’re going through are two sides of the same coin, because everything ends in mystery — the scientists have theories, and the theologians have myths, and they are both the same thing, because we end up in ignorance. … We have to think about the unthinkable, which is what religion does and science does, too.
Ray BradburyThe great thing about growing up with science fiction is that you have an interest in everything.
Ray BradburyMy aunt and my mother read to me when I was three from all the old Grimm fairy tales, Andersen fairy tales, and then all the Oz books as I was growing up… So by the time when I was ten or eleven, I was just full to the brim with these, and the Greek myths, and the Roman myths. And then, of course, I went to Sunday school, and then you take in the Christian myths, which are all fascinating in their own way… I guess I always tended to be a visual person, and myths are very visual, and I began to draw, and then I felt the urge to carry on these myths.
If I’m anything at all, I’m not really a science-fiction writer — I’m a writer of fairy tales and modern myths about technology.
I discovered very early on that if you wanted a thing, you went for it — and you got it. Most people never go anywhere, or want anything — so they never get anything.
Ray BradburyI never went to college — I don’t believe in college for writers. The thing is very dangerous. I believe too many professors are too opinionated and too snobbish and too intellectual, and the intellect is a great danger to creativity … because you begin to rationalize and make up reasons for things, instead of staying with your own basic truth — who you are, what you are, what you want to be. I’ve had a sign over my typewriter for over 25 years now, which reads “Don’t think!” You must never think at the typewriter — you must feel. Your intellect is always buried in that feeling anyway.
Ray BradburyIf there is no feeling, there cannot be great art.
