Ray Bradbury

Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.

Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

I don’t need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

Much depends on people knowing what opportunity means; it doesn’t mean a silver platter, it oftener means a spade. Self-help means something sterner than ‘help yourself’–reach over and take it.

Progress is a new season and the rule of progress is everything in its season.

You have to be odd to be number one.

I am not young enough to know everything.

We’ll love you just the way you are if you’re perfect.

It’s hard to see your own face without a mirror.

Come to me, wild and untamed. Bring the oceans on your lips, the mountains on your spine; I want to explore all the places you have ever called home. Let me pluck each petal from the gardens you’ve grown, overcrowded seedlings pushing up through your bones. Come to me dipped in the stars, come to me wearing all your scars. I want to show you just how beautiful you are.

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

There are some sick people in this world.

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak of yourself.

My philosophy is to have a really good time and never to let anything stop me from doing what I want to do.

Not only can you not plan the impact you’re going to have, you often won’t recognize it when you’re having it.

I have 100 percent Bronx pride like it’s a country like I AM the Bronx.
