“Sometimes I am stunned at my capacity as a nine-year-old, to understand my entrapment and escape it... Where did I find the courage to rebel, to change my life, live alone? I don't want to over-estimate all this, but damn it, I love that nine-year-old, whoever in hell he was.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“Each of the men I have listed seized a bit of the quicksilver of life, froze it for all time and turned, in the blaze of their creativity, to point at it and cry, "Isn't this good!" And it was good.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“If you did not write every day, the poisons would accumulate and you would begin to die, or act crazy, or both. You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing

“In other words, if your boy is a poet, horse manure can only mean flowers to him; which is, of course, what horse manure has always been about.”
― Ray Bradbury
