Have you ever watched the jet cars race on the boulevard?...I sometimes think drivers donโt know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly...If you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! He'd say, thatโs grass! A pink blur! Thatโs a rose garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows.
Ray BradburyMy parents read the comics to me, and I fell in love with comic strips. I've collected them all of my life. I have a complete collection of all the "Buck Rogers" Sunday funnies and daily paper strips, I have all of "Prince Valiant" put away, all of "Tarzan," which appeared in the Sunday funnies in 1932 right on up through high school. So I've learned a lot from reading comics as a child.

Ray BradburyThis afternoon, burn down the house. Tomorrow, pour critical water upon the simmering coals. Time enough to think and cut and rewrite tomorrow. But today-explode-f ly-apart-disint egrate! The other six or seven drafts are going to be pure torture. So why not enjoy the first draft, in the hope that your joy will seek and find others in the world who, by reading your story, will catch fire, too?
