Fun, Believe, Home

Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Writing, Joy

I'm interested in having fun with ideas, throwing them up in the air like confetti and then running under them.

Ray Bradbury

Running, Fun, Air

Ray Bradbury, Sam Weller (2012). “Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews”, p.306, Melville House

I believe in having fun first, and along the way, if you teach people, if you influence people, well and good.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Believe, People

Ray Bradbury (2012). “Fahrenheit 451: A Novel”, p.195, Simon and Schuster

...if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. It means you are so busy keeping one eye on the commercial market, or one ear peeled for the avant-garde coterie, that you are not being yourself. You don't even know yourself. For the first thing a writer should be is-- excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms.

Ray Bradbury

Being Yourself, Fun, Eye

Ray Bradbury (2015). “Zen in the Art of Writing”, p.12, HarperCollins UK

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.

Ray Bradbury

Inspirational, Travel, Fun

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself. ...Science fiction is central to everything we've ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don't know what they're talking about.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Talking, Civilization

Brown Daily Herald, March 24, 1995.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

Ray Bradbury

Morning, Fun, Typewriters

I don’t write things to benefit the world. If it happens that they do, swell. I didn’t set out to do that. I set out to have a hell of a lot of fun.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Writing, Benefits

But most of all, I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they are going. Sometimes I even go to Fun parks and ride in the jet cars when they race on the edge of town at midnight and the police don't care as long as they're insured. As long as everyone has ten thousand insurance everyone's happy. Sometimes I sneak around and listen in subways. Or I listen at soda fountains, and do you know what? People don't talk about anything.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Race, Long

Everything of mine is permeated with my love of ideas-both big and small. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it grabs me and holds me, facinates me. And then I'll run out and something about it... I write for fun.

Ray Bradbury

Running, Fun, Writing

People want to be happy, isn't that right? Haven't you heard it all your life? I want to be happy, people say. Well, aren't they? Don't we keep them moving, don't we give them fun? That's all we live for, isn't it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these.

Ray Bradbury

Fun, Moving, People
