More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.
Neil Gaiman
Twitter is great and it's glorious and it's easy, but if somebody comes up with something kind of like Twitter tomorrow, that's better or smarter or more useful, in three weeks time, Twitter could more or less be history because that's how fast things go.
Neil Gaiman
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
Neil Gaiman
You have to finish things - that's what you learn from, you learn by finishing things.
Neil Gaiman
That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.
Neil Gaiman
I must confess, I have always wondered what lay beyond life, my dear. Yeah, everybody wonders. And sooner or later everybody gets to find out.
Neil Gaiman
He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement.
Neil Gaiman
He sighed. It was a long sigh, weary and worldly-wise. The kind of sigh you could picture God heaving after six days of hard work and looking forward to some serious cosmic R&R, only to be handed a report by an angel concerning a problem with someone eating an apple.
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
Just remember, what the French say. No, probably not the French, they've got a president or something. The Brits, maybe, or the Swedes. You know what I mean? No, Matthew. What do they say? The king is dead, that's what they say. The king is dead. Long live the king.
Neil Gaiman
The trouble with everything, these days, for me, is time. There is only one me. There are a ridiculous number of demands on my time. There are so many things I'm trying to do. It's so much more about when I'm going to get time to do it, if I get time.
Neil Gaiman
If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.
Neil Gaiman
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
Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.
Neil Gaiman
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Neil Gaiman
Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.
Neil Gaiman
If you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up.
Neil Gaiman
I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.
Neil Gaiman
Nearly' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.
Neil Gaiman
There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that, but you are the only you.
Neil Gaiman
