Neil Gaiman
My very small part in WATCHMEN is that, every now and then, Alan would phone me: ''Neil, you're an educated man. Where does it say...'' He would need a quote from the Bible, or an essay about owls. I was his occasional research assistant.
Neil Gaiman
The tongue is the most remarkable. For we use it both to taste out sweet wine and bitter poison, thus also do we utter words both sweet and sout with the same tongue.
Neil Gaiman
Remember your name. Do not lose hope ---what you seek will be found.
Neil Gaiman
You were her way here, and it's a dangerous thing to be a door.
Neil Gaiman
Be boring, knowing everything. You have to give all that stuff up if you're going to muck about here.
Neil Gaiman
