Going off the grid is always good for me. It's the way that I've started books and finished books and gotten myself out of deadline dooms and things.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Tools, of course, can be the subtlest of traps.
Neil Gaiman
The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.
Neil Gaiman
Sleep my little baby-oh Sleep until you waken When you wake you'll see the world If I'm not mistaken... Kiss a lover Dance a measure, Find your name And buried treasure... Face your life Its pain, Its pleasure, Leave no path untaken.
Neil Gaiman
I imagine the world dividing into the people who want to feed their children, and the ones shooting at them.
Neil Gaiman
And did I pass? The face of the old woman on my right was unreadable in the gathering dusk. On my left the younger woman said, You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.
Neil Gaiman
They also held that the way to salvation was to give way to lust and temptation in all things. And no greater percentage of them turned up here than of any other religion. Amusing, isn't it?
Neil Gaiman
It’s part of growing up, I suppose…you always have to leave something behind you.
Neil Gaiman
With 'Stardust', I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.
Neil Gaiman
My theory on genre is that while there are people out there who believe that genre tells people what to read, actually I believe that genre exists as a marketing tool to tell you what to avoid.
Neil Gaiman
Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes big things happen, and they echo. Those echoes crash across worlds. They are the ripples in the fabric of things. Often they manifest as storms. Reality is a fragile thing, after all.
Neil Gaiman
People who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
Be hole, be dust, be dream, be wind/Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind,/Now slip, now slide, now move unseen,/Above, beneath, betwixt, between.
Neil Gaiman
There are stories you build and there are stories you construct then there are the stories that you hack out of rock removing all the things that are not the story.
Neil Gaiman
I've been inspired by dreams - I've even stolen scenes or images or characters from them.
Neil Gaiman
I wondered how I looked to her, in that place, and knew that even in a place that was nothing but knowledge that was the one thing I could not know. That if I look inward I would see only infinite mirrors staring into myself for eternity.
Neil Gaiman
It seems like every time I agree to work with a video game company they go out of business. I stopped because I was starting to feel guilty.
Neil Gaiman
So I went out and bought myself a copy of the Writer and Artist Yearbook, bought lots of magazines and got on the phone and talked to editors about ideas for stories. Pretty soon I found myself hired to do interviews and articles and went off and did them.
Neil Gaiman
I've never known anyone who was what he or she seemed or at least, was only what he or she seemed. People carry worlds within them.
Neil Gaiman
Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.
Neil Gaiman
