“ When you reach the stars, boy, yes, and live there forever, all the fears will go, and Death himself will die. ”

Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree

“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.”

— Ray Bradbury

"To think that thought could live that long! A million years, perhaps, all these thoughts of death and disorder and conquest, lingering in the innocent but poisonous air of the planet, waiting for a real man to give them a channel through which they might issue again in all their senseless virulence."

Asleep in Armageddon, Ray Bradbury

You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury

It was September. In the last days when things are getting sad for no reason.

Ray Bradbury

In 1987, the first manned spaceship, under the command of the US Navy, landed on Mars. To their surprise they found homes from various periods in Earth history and what appeared to be the crew’s relatives that have passed on. ("Mars is Heaven", X-Minus One, radio)

From The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury’s 1949 sci-fi classic.

“Beware the autumn people.”

— Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

-- Ray Bradbury

(Chambéry, France)
