I was the kind of kid whose parents would drop him off at the local town library on their way to work, and I'd go and work my way through the children's area.

Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.

The comic convention itself tends to come second to the giant announcements in Hall H and the movies and the TV. So I think it's always good to remind people that there is a wonderful comic convention going on.

What should I believe? thought Shadow, and the voice came back to him from somewhere deep beneath the world, in a bass rumble: Believe everything.

There's nothing for getting you good fast like having to be good fast, if that makes any sense.

Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.

Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.

Something feels weird, he told Laura. That wasn't the first thing he said to her. The first thing was I love you, because it's a good thing to say if you can mean it, and Shadow did.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I really don't know what I love you means. I think it means Don't leave me here alone.

Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.

I believe we have an obligation to read for pleasure, in private and in public places. If we read for pleasure, if others see us reading, then we learn, we exercise our imaginations. We show others that reading is a good thing.

You can't make me love you.

Sometimes the way to do what you hope to do will be clear cut, and sometimes it will be almost impossible to decide whether or not you are doing the correct thing, because you'll have to balance your goals and hopes with feeding yourself, paying debts, finding work, settling for what you can get.

You don't get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.

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.

People pursue things. As soon as they have them they run away from them.

I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating.
