Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way. - Ray Bradbury

"Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he'll eventually make some kind of career for himself as writer."[1967 interview]"

"Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down."

"Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible."

"We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of on good rain and black loam."

"It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones."
