Fun fact: Ray Bradbury wrote the screenplay for John Huston’s 1956 adaptation of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick—but it wasn’t for the love of Melville. “I had fallen in love with John Huston’s work when I was in my twenties.”. https://t.co/nOcZ2RanRR #MobyDick #JohnHuston https://t.co/C9G1mxf0bh

“The science fiction, dystopian futures & darker preoccupations of Ray Bradbury aren’t the first things that come to mind when someone mentions the word “Disney.” Yet Bradbury & Walt Disney were friends in the latter’s autumn years.” https://t.co/sMSwFlFsJ6 #SomethingWicked https://t.co/FVuboFRJF3

“I was around 8 when my love for language started to kick in full throttle. In third grade, my teacher read chapters of Ray Bradbury’s “Dandelion Wine” to my class & every day I’d sit, enchanted & enraptured by the sweeping words of this literary great.” https://t.co/J1VxewoVg5 https://t.co/tKJa35iyhI

“You know, I wonder if it was Ray Bradbury’s story “The Veldt”—I read that young, in elementary, & it’s always stayed with me. I go back & read it every once in a while, just to remember who I am & what I’m doing. That might be when that bug bit me.” https://t.co/xJXHuEBmY7 https://t.co/a0gr94ctIg

This is what [Roald Dahl] told Francis Bacon in 1982 on censoring his books: “When I am gone, if that happens, then I’ll wish mighty Thor knocks very hard on their heads with his Mjolnir. Or I will send along the ‘enormous crocodile’ to gobble them up.” https://t.co/VCmCrc6ZLb https://t.co/qSf8SSz3pG
