Life and death are different sides of the same coin.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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.

Fiction takes us to places that we would never otherwise go, and puts us behind eyes that are not our own.
Neil Gaiman
Image
You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.

You could fire a machine gun randomly through the pages of Lord of the Rings and never hit any women.

She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.

I was kidnapped by aliens, they came down from outer space with ray guns, but I fooled them by wearing a wig and laughing in a foreign accent, and I escaped.

America was, to them, the place that good people went to when they died. They were prepared to believe just about anything could happen in America.

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.

You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Whatever's happening, she said, eventually, it can all be sorted out. She saw the expression on my face then, worried. Scared even. And she said, After pancakes.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Don't worry about trying to develop a style. Style is what you can't help doing. If you write enough, you draw enough, you'll have a style, whether you want it or not. Don't worry about whether you're commercial. Tell your own stories, draw your own pictures. Let other people follow you.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Nobody will ever hurt her. She’ll just smile her faint vague wonderful smile and walk away.

Have you ever had one of those days when something just seems to be trying to tell you somebody?

I learned to write by writing.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I always say that if you're a novelist, the challenge is not writing what you think ought to happen, but trying in some way to write what did happen in a world that doesn't necessarily exist.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I loved all books that I could read, and I never knew if I was ready for it until I tried to read it, so I tried to read everything.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
