If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Bradbury links “wonder” less to rare experiences than to an underlying appetite for life. If one takes genuine pleasure in being alive—curious, attentive, emotionally open—then amazement becomes a default stance rather than a special achievement. The line also implies that cynicism and boredom are not inevitable products of age or knowledge; they are symptoms of disengagement. In Bradbury’s broader ethos as a writer who championed imagination, libraries, and daily creative practice, wonder is a discipline sustained by gratitude and active noticing. Enjoyment of living, in this view, is both the source and the safeguard of imaginative vitality.
