Ray Bradbury Quotes About Country

Quotes about: Country

• That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Twilight, Rain

  Ray Bradbury (2013). “The October Country”, p.7, Harper Collins

• Why the Egyptian, Arabic, Abyssinian, Choctaw? Well, what tongue does the wind talk? What nationality is a storm? What country do rains come from? What color is lightning? Where does thunder goe when it dies?

  Ray Bradbury

  Life, Country, Rain

  Ray Bradbury (2013). “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, p.8, Harper Collins

• If you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don't know how to read, you don't know how to decide. That's the great thing about our country - we're a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Democracy, Way

• The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us - it's all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Book, Fall

• Way out in the country tonight he could smell the pumpkins ripening toward the knife and the triangle eye and the singeing candle.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Eye, Knives

• That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Autumn, Thinking

  Ray Bradbury (2014). “The October Country”, p.6, HarperCollins UK

• I'm scared of myself. I think I'd be a bad driver. I'm scared of cars, period. I've had too many friends killed now, and I've seen too many people killed in my life when I drove across the country when I was 12. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. If you see a few real dead bodies with brains on the pavement, it does a lot to change your attitude. It means you can get it too. I've had a lot of relatives killed. I've had a lot of dear friends killed. It's stupid. The whole activity is stupid.

  Ray Bradbury

  Country, Attitude, Real
