People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it. Predicting the future is much too easy, anyway. You look at the people around you, the street you stand on, the visible air you breathe, and predict more of the same. To hell with more. I want better.
Ray BradburyDonโt try to write a novel. Write short stories and then figure out how to connect them.
Ray BradburyWe travel, initially, to lose ourselves, and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools againโto slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.
Ray BradburyI'm being ironic. Don't interrupt a man in the midst of being ironic, it's not polite. There!
Ray BradburyA stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You canโt act if you donโt know.
