Ray Bradbury Quotes About Purpose

Quotes about: Purpose

• We Earth Men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things. The only reason we didn't set up hot-dog stands in the midst of the Egyptian temple of Karnak is because it was out of the way and served no large commercial purpose.

  Ray Bradbury

  Beautiful, Dog, Men

  Ray Bradbury (2012). “The Martian Chronicles”, p.71, Simon and Schuster

• There are two races of people -- men and women -- no matter what women's libbers would have you pretend. The male is motivated by toys and science because men are born with no purpose in the universe except to procreate. There is lots of time to kill beyond that. They've got to find work. Men have no inherent center to themselves beyond procreating. Women, however, are born with a center. They can create the universe, mother it, teach it, nurture it. Men read science fiction to build the future. Women don't need to read it. They are the future.

  Ray Bradbury

  Mother, Women, Race

• The purpose of fiction is not to nail you to the ground as facts do, but to take you to the edge of the cliff and kick you off so you build your wings on the way down.

  Ray Bradbury

  Wings, Fiction, Way
