Ray Bradbury Quotes

He that's secure is not safe.

It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.

To me, nothing ever feels like a sure thing. I cling to that because it's very important you don't ever think anything is a sure thing.

Give up security as an ideal. Anyone who promises security is misbranding his political, social, and economic goods ... If you insist on being cheated, buy gold bricks or perpetual motion machines. It is now clear that if you live at all, you will live dangerously, not only during the instant crisis but for all our lives

I’m concerned about all areas of uncertainty.

One thing you can rely on is that there will always be uncertainty.

One certainty we all accept is the condition of being uncertain and insecure.

The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.

Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.

We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.

I love things that are harsh and things that are too loud. And I love lulling people into a false sense of security. That's life.

Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life.

It's very rare in life to be sure about something - particularly when it's an issue.

Sureness is something like a neck brace, which we clamp around our lives, hoping to somehow protect ourselves from the frightening, constant whiplash of change. Sadly, the brace doesn't always hold.

In this business, you just never know from day to day. It's one reason I held off getting too involved in entertainment. I like being able to plan, I like to know what I'm going to be doing.

Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.

I cannot guarantee anything.

People want security in this insecure world.

It is this compulsion to look backwards at a time of crisis because one's got no idea of what lies ahead. There is a notion of security that somehow it must resemble the past. It's never going to. Just because we muddled through in the past doesn't mean we can automatically muddle through in the future.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends

Hope and certainty are the enemies of peace.

Uncertainty is everywhere and you cannot escape from it.

Instability is never a good idea.

We live in the postmodern world, where everything is possible and almost nothing is certain.

The way to feel safe is never to feel secure.
