More quotes by Neil Gaiman
It's not the fish you catch, it's the peace of mind you take home at the end of the day.
Neil Gaiman
All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us and we must walk that road to the end.
Neil Gaiman
I’m an author. We don’t want to lead. We don’t need to follow. We stay home and make stuff up and write it down and send it out into the world, and get inside people’s heads. Perhaps we change the world and perhaps we don’t. We never know. We just make stuff up.
Neil Gaiman
I found English to be a sort of Thomas Hardy aversion therapy.
Neil Gaiman
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Neil Gaiman
I don't think you get perfect couples. At best you get two people building something, and working at it, and loving each other, and doing their best to communicate.
Neil Gaiman
Anywhere that I can't check my email is a good place to write!
Neil Gaiman
I'm willing to make a fool out of myself in public. I'm also willing to make those mistakes that you're going to make the first time you go out, so hopefully the next time it will be better.
Neil Gaiman
I don't know. I had to be something, didn't I?
Neil Gaiman
I never fell. I don't care what they say. I'm still doing my job, as I see it.
Neil Gaiman
Are you scared?’ asked Mr. Ibis. ‘Not really.’ ‘Well, try to cultivate the emotions of true awe and spiritual terror, as we walk. They are the appropriate feelings for the situation at hand.
Neil Gaiman
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
The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.
Neil Gaiman
I'm one of those writers who tends to be really good at making outlines and sticking to them. I'm very good at doing that, but I don't like it. It sort of takes a lot of the fun out.
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
I've learned over the years that everything is more or less the same amount of work, so you may as well set your sights high and try and do something really cool.
Neil Gaiman
He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring because yesterday has brought it.
Neil Gaiman
25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying 'Where is the flaming sword that was given unto thee?' 26 And the Angel said, 'I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.' 27 And the Lord did not ask him again.
Neil Gaiman
Like the newspapers used to say, if the truth isn't big enough, you print the legend.
Neil Gaiman
The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.
Neil Gaiman
