Bradbury Quotes

I enjoyed reading all the classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Bradbury. (William Shatner)
Bradbury Fisher shuddered from head to foot, and his legs wobbled like asparagus stalks. View quote
P. G. Wodehouse
If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want. View quote
Frederik Pohl
Ray Bradbury is, for many reasons, the most influential writer in my life. Throughout our long friendship, Ray supplied not only his terrific stories but a grand model of what a writer could be, should be, and yet rarely is: brilliant and charming and accessible, willing to tolerate and to teach, happy to inspire but also to be inspired.

I really can't claim to being a science-fiction man either. Fantasy was really more my bag. And I'm very much a Johnny-Come-Lately into that. The guys – the really key men – like Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury – they all preceded me by years and years and have a body of literature to show for it. I have nothing but a television show. My only claim is that I put science-fiction and fantasy into a mass media more than any other person. View quote

As a younger person, I was obsessed with Ray Bradbury, and I think his stories did more to shape me as a storyteller than anybody else - even though, when I read them now, a lot of them seem overly sentimental. But that's probably the writer that I've thought about the most, even though I don't necessarily like a lot of his work. View quote

More than fantasy or even science fiction, Ray Bradbury wrote horror, and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear, of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence, or to be optimistic, or to write sentimentally when he felt that way. View quote
Lev Grossman
Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury. View quote
Jeff Bridges
I was warped early by Ray Bradbury and Edgar Allan Poe. I was very fond of Franz Kafka. View quote
Margaret Atwood
Ray Bradbury is one who is contributing to the understanding of the imagination and the curiosity of the human race. View quote
Buzz Aldrin
In Los Angeles you get the sense sometimes that there's a mysterious patrol at night: when the streets are empty and everyone's asleep, they go erasing the past. It's like a bad Ray Bradbury story - 'The Memory Erasers'. (Carlos Ruiz Zafón)
I read a bit of Ray Bradbury when I was a younger man. I don't read a lot of fiction anymore... like, none. View quote
