Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I was always so relieved that anyone wants to publish anything I've written.
Neil Gaiman
For a moment he thought she was about to hit him, which would have been bad, or even start crying, which would have been much, much worse.
Neil Gaiman
You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.
Neil Gaiman
She had such unusual eyes. They made me think of the seaside, and so I called her Ocean, and could not have told you why.
Neil Gaiman
American Gods was designed to be if not open-ended, at least a trilogy kind of shape, so there's definitely one more book, probably another couple of books there to get written.
Neil Gaiman
You must have a bladder like Lake Erie. I think empires rose and fell in the time it took you to pee. I could hear it the whole time. Thank you. Do you want something?
Neil Gaiman
You think you're being given all of these things: phones that can communicate with other devices, car service that's better than a taxi, all of these amazing things that are available to you at any time. It isn't until you've swum across the river that you can start to see the negative aspects of it all.
Neil Gaiman
When things go wrong, this is what you should do. Make good art.
Neil Gaiman
I was a scholarship minor public school day boy at Ardingly College and later Whitgift School. Then, straight into work as a journalist - a wonderful thing for a writer.
Neil Gaiman
We wrapped our dreams in words and patterned the words so that they would live forever, unforgettable.
Neil Gaiman
Not knowing everything is all that makes it OK, sometimes.
Neil Gaiman
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.
Neil Gaiman
I think most things are pretty magical, and that it's less a matter of belief than it is one of just stopping to notice.
Neil Gaiman
The things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe.
Neil Gaiman
There's nothing for getting you good fast like having to be good fast, if that makes any sense.
Neil Gaiman
We live in a world in which the only utopian visions arrive in commercial breaks: magical visions of an impossibly hospitable world, peopled by bright-eyed attractive men, women, children... Where nobody dies... In my worlds people died. And I thought that was honest. I thought I was being honest.
Neil Gaiman
Nice' in a bodyguard is about as useful as the ability to regurgitate whole lobsters.
Neil Gaiman
Recounting the strange is like telling one's dreams: one can communicate the events of a dream, but not the emotional content, the way that a dream can colour one's entire day.
Neil Gaiman
Names come and names go.
Neil Gaiman
Too much talking these days. Talk talk talk. This country would get along much better if people learned how to suffer in silence.
Neil Gaiman
