More quotes by Neil Gaiman

Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.
Neil Gaiman
If it's true that every seven years each cell in your body dies and is replaced, then I have truly inherited my life from a dead man and the misdeeds of those times have been forgiven, and are buried with his bones.
Neil Gaiman
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.

All that I did, she said, everything I tried to do. All for nothing. Nothing is done entirely for nothing, said the fox of dreams. Nothing is wasted. You are older, and you have made decisions, and you are not the fox you were yesterday. Take what you have learned, and move on.
Neil Gaiman
The important thing to understand about American history, wrote Mr. Ibis, in his leather-bound journal, is that it is fictional, a charcoal-sketched simplicity for the children, or the easily bored.
Neil Gaiman
When things go wrong, this is what you should do. Make good art.
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
Leave no path untaken.

I like 'pencil-necked weasel'. It has 'pencil' in it. Pencils are good things. You can draw or write things with pencils. I think it's what you call someone when you're worried that using a long word like 'intellectual' may have too many syllables. It's not something that people who have serious, important things to say call other people.

If not for Death, they’d be content to simply exist, but with Death, well, their lives will have meaning — a boundary beyond which the living cannot cross.

I lay on the bed and lost myself in stories. I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyways.

I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for the Sandman. It was immediately cut by the editor [Karen Berger]. She told me, There's no masturbation in the DC Universe. To which my reaction was, Well, that explains a lot about the DC Universe.

There is something about riding a unicorn, for those people who still can, which is unlike any other experience: exhilarating, and intoxicating, and fine.
Neil Gaiman
We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.
