Ray Bradbury, Master of Science Fiction, Dies at 91


Portrait by Kagan McLeod

“Pour out some dandelion wine for Ray Bradbury. Goodbye, Mr. Bradbury. See you in October Country.”
Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
— Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
