2 “ Ray Bradbury:A life's work should be based on love. #Love#Love

3 “ Ray Bradbury: If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it. #Enjoyment#Enjoyment

4 “ Ray Bradbury:From now on I hope always to educate myself as best I can. But lacking this, in future I will relaxedly turn back to my secret mind to see what it has observed when I thought I was sitting this one out. We never sit anything out. We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. #Education#Education

5 “ Ray Bradbury:There still are people who will come up to you and say: "Science Fiction? Ha! Why read that?!" The most direct, off-putting reply is: Science fiction is the most important fiction ever invented by writers. It saw a whole mob of troubles pouring toward us across the shoals of time and cried, "Head for the hills, the dam is broke!" But no one listened. Now, people have pricked up their ears, and opened their eyes. #Pain#Pain

6 “ Ray Bradbury:Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? #Poverty and The Poor#Poverty and The Poor

7 “ Ray Bradbury:Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future. #Libraries#Libraries

8 “ Ray Bradbury:Recreate the world in your own image and make it better for your having been here. #Arts and Artists#Arts and Artists

9 “ Ray Bradbury:My job is to help you fall in love. #Love#Love

10 “ Ray Bradbury:If you can't read and write you can't think. Your thoughts are dispersed if you don't know how to read and write. You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were. #Books - Reading#Books - Reading

11 “ Ray Bradbury:Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don't do that. On occasion? Sure. As relaxation? Great. But not full time— And a lot of people are doing that. And while they're doing that, I'll go ahead and write another novel. #Writers and Writing#Writers and Writing

12 “ Ray Bradbury:We were put here as witnesses to the miracle of life. We see the stars, and we want them. We are beholden to give back to the universe.... If we make landfall on another star system, we become immortal. #Miracles#Miracles

13 “ Ray Bradbury:If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you, and you'll never learn. #Ignorance#Ignorance

14 “ Ray Bradbury:And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation. So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all. #Awards#Awards

15 “ Ray Bradbury:The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go. I have always longed for education, and pillow talk's the best. #Education#Education

16 “ Ray Bradbury:Life is like underwear, should be changed twice a day. #Dress#Dress

17 “ Ray Bradbury:Why would you clone people when you can go to bed with them and make a baby? C'mon, it's stupid. #Science and Scientists#Science and Scientists

18 “ Ray Bradbury:Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction. #Science and Scientists#Science and Scientists

19 “ Ray Bradbury:You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. #Alcohol and Alcoholism#Alcohol and Alcoholism

20 “ Ray Bradbury:Bill, I don't do Windows. #Time and Time Management#Time and Time Management

21 “ Ray Bradbury:The gift of life is so precious that we should feel an obligation to pay back the universe for the gift of being alive. #Life and Living#Life and Living
