Writers, filmmakers react to Ray Bradbury's death

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reaction to the death of author Ray Bradbury:

"He was my muse for the better part of my sci-fi career. He lives on through his legion of fans. In the world of science fiction and fantasy and imagination he is immortal." - Steven Spielberg

---

"He was always my favorite science fiction writer because what he did was rooted in reality. He never got really out there." - Tom Wolfe

---

"He was kind, and gentle, and always filled with enthusiasm, and that the landscape of the world we live in would have been diminished if we had not had him in our world." - Neil Gaiman

Here is to looking up, and adventures of the mind when reality fails to live up to our expectations.

Then again, imagination is a great way to think of what might be possible with commitment, perseverance, and money. :-)
