"I don't write science fiction. I've only..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“You don't read in your own field. You read in that field when you're young, so that you can learn.”

“The only science fiction I have written is Fahrenheit 451. It's the art of the possible. Science fiction is the art of the possible. It could happen. It has happened.”

“Those who live in the best cliffs think they are better than us. That is always man's attitude when he has power.”

“There's a lot of crap out there. Most of the science fiction films alone are abominations, you know. They're mindless. So you can't learn from those kinds of films.”

“When I was a young writer if you went to a party and told somebody you were a science-fiction writer you would be insulted. They would call you Flash Gordon all evening, or Buck Rogers.”

“Millions of students now, in all the schools of America, are reading science fiction and especially, thank God, 'The Martian Chronicles.'”

“Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.”

“We perceive that the schemers return again and again to common sense and labor. Such is the evidence of history.”

“The difference between fiction and nonfiction is that fiction must be absolutely believable.”
