"The real fear isn't rejection, but that..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door...Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?”

“Writing can be described in two verbs: Throw up and clean up.”

“Mysteries abound where most we seek for answers.”

“Writing a book is an adventure.”

“What is The Subconscious to every other man, in its creative aspect becomes, for writers, The Muse.”

“I'm not a science-fiction writer. I've only written one book that's science fiction, and that's Fahrenheit 451. All the others are fantasy.”

“Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness.”

“A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike; for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.”

“We must do the work to prove our fears groundless, otherwise it is our fears that will gain ground and our lives will be spent in their service.”
