Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
Whatever's happening, she said, eventually, it can all be sorted out. She saw the expression on my face then, worried. Scared even. And she said, After pancakes.
Neil Gaiman
She didn't have a daddy? I asked. No. Did you have a daddy? You're all questions, aren't you? No, love. We never went in for that sort of thing. You only need men if you want to breed more men.
Neil Gaiman
You mourn, for it is proper to mourn. But your grief serves you you do not become a slave to grief. You bid the dead farewell, and you continue.
Neil Gaiman
So the day became one of waiting, which was, he knew, a sin: moments were to be experienced waiting was a sin against both the time that was still to come and the moments one was currently disregarding.
Neil Gaiman
Her other mother smiled brightly and the hair on her head drifted like plants under the sea.
Neil Gaiman
Style is made up of whatever an author can't avoid doing.
