Ray Bradbury

If you want to be a good writer, be the best writer in the world. That’s what I’ve done.

Ray Bradbury

If you write a hundred short stories and they’re all bad, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You fail only if you stop writing.

Ray Bradbury

It’s lack that gives us inspiration. It’s not fullness.

Ray Bradbury

Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.

Ray Bradbury

Libraries raised me.

Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.

Ray Bradbury

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

Ray Bradbury

Love will fly if held too lightly, love will die if held too tightly.

Ray Bradbury

Most of my stories are ideas in action. In other words, I get a concept, and I let it run away. I find a character to act out the idea. And then the story takes care of itself.

Ray Bradbury

My goal is to entertain myself and others.
