One of the most celebrated writers of 20th century, Ray Bradbury (August 22, 1920 - June 5, 2012) was an American fiction and fantasy writer. His masterpieces, that changed the way people think, include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Something Wicked this way comes and numerous short stories, plays and television scripts. I stumbled across his very inspiring words about writing and thought it would be a great idea to present it in a poster and put it in my office for everyone to get inspired. Here is what he says:
"If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."
