Ray Bradbury: Halloween is Better Than Christmas

“I think it’s the best season”

Ray Bradbury, 1978 - By Sophie Bassouls (Sygma via Getty Images)

I think it’s the best season—
Better than Christmas.

We have the Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens,
Which is all about life and death—
Halloween is all about death and life.

But still,
Life is very precious
At the center of Halloween.

— Ray Bradbury,
