**Ray Bradbury Quotes**

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things. " Ray Bradbury

"I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it." Ray Bradbury

"If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it." Ray Bradbury
