I love the way Ray Bradbury uses words. He can make one line have so many different meanings. One of my favorite lines in "Something Wicked" is:

quote:

They ran in urine smell of shadow, they ran in clean ice smell of moon.

I like it because it contrasts the darkness and light in such a cool way.

I really like the way Ray Bradbury uses words.

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

My stories run up and bite me in the leg -- I respond by writing them down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.

We are anthill men upon an anthill world

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them

I'm not a science fiction writer. I'm a magician. I can use words to make you believe anything.

'A good teacher is an exhilarator. All the good teachers we've had, we fell in love with because they were in love with life. Now let me be in love with life. I'll stand in the middle of the planetarium, and I'll shout at the birth of the universe.

We're the gift the universe gives back to itself. It's us, we're it, we're responsible

Ripped Abs, where are you getting all of this?

See the address I attached (April 12) on Page 1 of these posts (RE:Spaceagecity). Abs Loves them all. Now, that is inspired!

This is a wonderful quote because the way it compares and contrasts the moon. It makes the shadow seem dirty but it is created by the moon which is portrayed as clean and cool.

"Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories." – Ray Bradbury

i hate the roman status quo.

and like ripped abs i think rays spoken word is poetry.

i love how his pauses he says "huh?" like hes saying " right? you see?"
