  1. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    -¿Qué miras papá? -Estoy buscando lógica terrestre, sentido común, gobierno honesto, paz y responsabilidad. -¿Todas esas cosas están allá arriba? -No. No las he encontrado. Ya no están ahí. Y nunca volverán a estarlo. Quizá nunca lo estuvieron."

  2. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    Cuando yo era pequeño mis padres me llevaron a la ciudad de México. Siempre recordaré el comportamiento de mi padre, vulgar y fatuo. A mi madre no le gustaba tampoco aquella gente porque eran morenos y no se bañaban a menudo. Mi hermana ni les hablaba. Solo a mí me gustaban realmente. Y puedo imaginarme a mi madre y mi padre aquí en Marte haciendo otra vez lo mismo.

  4. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    Cuando apareció, Darwin cometimos ese error. Lo recibimos con los brazos abiertos y también a Huxley y a Freud, deshaciéndonos en sonrisas. Después descubrimos que no era posible conciliar las teorías de Darwin con nuestras religiones, o por lo menos así pensamos. Fuimos unos estúpidos. Quisimos derribar a Darwin, Huxley y a Freud. pero eran inconmovibles. Y entonces, como unos idiotas, intentamos destruir la religión. »Lo conseguimos bastante bien. Perdimos nuestra fe y empezamos a preguntarnos para qué vivíamos. "Si el arte no era más que la derivación de un deseo frustrado, si la religión no era más que un engaño, ¿para qué la vida? La fe había explicado siempre todas las cosas. Luego todo se fue por el vertedero, junto con Freud y Darwin.

  5. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    Night after night for every year and every year, for no reason at all, the woman comes out and looks at the sky, her hands up, for a long moment, looking at the green burning of Earth, not knowing why she looks, and then she goes back and throws a stick on the fire, and the wind comes up and the dead sea goes on being dead.

  7. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    How must it have felt, Pikes, the night they seized your films, like entrails yanked from the camera, out of your guts, clutching them in coils and wads to stuff them up a stove to burn away! Did it feel as bad as having some fifty thousand books annihilated with no recompense? Yes. Yes. Stendahl felt his hands grow cold with the senseless anger.

  8. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    No matter how we touch Mars, we'll never touch it. And then we'll get mad at it, and you know what we'll do? We'll rip it up, rip the skin off, and change it to fit ourselves.

  9. Ray Bradbury _ The Martian Chronicles

    I'm burning a way of life, just like that way of life is being burned clean of Earth right now. Forgive me if I talk like a politician. I am, after all, a former state governor, and I was honest and they hated me for it. Life on Earth never settled down to doing anything very good. Science ran too far ahead of us too quickly, and the people got lost in a mechanical wilderness like children making over pretty things, gadgets, helicopters, rockets; emphasizing the wrong items, emphasizing machines instead of how to run the machines. Wars got bigger and bigger and finally killed Earth. That's what the silent radio means. That's what we ran away from.
