More quotes by Neil Gaiman
If you want to imagine the future, imagine a boy and his dog and his friends. And a summer that never ends.
Neil Gaiman
What power would Hell have if those imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven?
Neil Gaiman
I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.
Neil Gaiman
I took delight in hurling books across the room if I knew I would not be reading the second chapter. Then I’d go and pick them up again, because they are books, after all, and we are not savages.
Neil Gaiman
Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?
Neil Gaiman
I'd love to write some porn, but I don't know if I have the right engines. When I was a young man and I was tempted to write porn, imaginary parents would appear over my shoulder and read what I was writing just about the point that I managed to banish the imaginary parents, real children would lean over my shoulder and read what I was writing.
Neil Gaiman
Firstly, there no such person as Death. Second, Death's this tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians. Third, he doesn't exist either.
Neil Gaiman
As a journalist, I would talk to writers, directors, creative people, and discover that for an awful lot of them, the moment they became successful, that was all they were allowed to do. So you end up talking to the bestselling science-fiction author who wrote a historical-fiction novel that everybody loved, but no one would publish.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it. Once you’re in, the workers sort of assume that it must have been cleared by management and take no notice various freeloading insects have evolved a mellifluous existence because of this very fact. Humans act the same way.
Neil Gaiman
You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Neil Gaiman
Anyone who believes what a cat tells him deserves all he gets.
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
I like reading. I prefer not reading on my computer, because that makes whatever I am reading feel like work. I do not mind reading on my iPad.
Neil Gaiman
However you must have sensed a lurking 'but' skulking beneath my happy, blithe, and chipper exterior. A minuscule vexation, like the teeniest lump of raw liver sticking to the inside of my boot.
Neil Gaiman
There's not much high and low culture any more: there's just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it's good art or bad art.
Neil Gaiman
The sky had never seemed so sky the world had never seemed so world.
Neil Gaiman
A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.
Neil Gaiman
Is there any person in the world who does not dream? Who does not contain within them worlds unimagined?
Neil Gaiman
I was not scared of anything, when I read my book.
Neil Gaiman
If there's one thing that a study of history has taught us, it is that things can always get worse.
Neil Gaiman
