Well meaning adults can easily destroy a child's love of reading - do not discourage children from reading because you feel they're reading the wrong thing. There is no such thing as the wrong thing to be reading and no bad fiction for kids.
Neil Gaiman
Image
All fiction is a process of imagining: whatever you write, in whatever genre or medium, your task is to make things up convincingly and interestingly and new.

Nearly' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.

I'm writing. The pages are starting to stack up. My morale is improving the more I feel like a writer.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through the dreams and the dreamer will wake, and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be.

This is the only country in the world, that worries about what it is. The rest of them know what they are. No one ever needs to go searching for the heart of Norway. Or looks for the soul of Mozambique. They know what they are.

Fiction gives us empathy: it puts us inside the minds of other people, gives us the gifts of seeing the world through their eyes. Fiction is a lie that tells us true things, over and over.

I'm somebody who considers happiness a journey, not a destination.

Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There's the magic of it.
Neil Gaiman
Image
As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I think most things are pretty magical, and that it's less a matter of belief than it is one of just stopping to notice.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Walk any path in Destiny's garden, and you will be forced to choose, not once but many times.

The ties of blood, said Spider, are stronger than water. Water's not strong, objected Fat Charlie.

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.

So, you figure they won't notice you're back? sneered the marquis. Just, 'oh look, there's another angel, here, grab a harp and on with the hosannas'?

The wise man knows when to keep silent. Only the fool tells all he knows.

Delirium: 'What's the name of the word for the precise moment when you realize that you've actually forgotten how it felt to make love to somebody you really liked a long time ago?' Dream: 'There isn't one.' Delirium: 'Oh. I thought maybe there was.'

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.
