More quotes by Neil Gaiman
He was walking into Faerie, in search of a fallen star, with no idea how he would find the star, nor how to keep himself safe and whole as he tried. He looked back and fancied that he could see the lights of Wall behind him, wavering and glimmering as if in a heat-haze, but still inviting.
Neil Gaiman
There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
I'm somebody who considers happiness a journey, not a destination.
Neil Gaiman
Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.
Neil Gaiman
I don't believe in writer's block. I try and deal with getting stuck by having more than one thing to work on at a time. And by knowing that even a hundred bad words that didn't exist before is forward progress.
Neil Gaiman
The sky had never seemed so sky the world had never seemed so world.
Neil Gaiman
Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.
Neil Gaiman
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.
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
Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.
Neil Gaiman
The ties of blood, said Spider, are stronger than water. Water's not strong, objected Fat Charlie.
Neil Gaiman
That's the trouble with you young people. You think because you ain't been here long, you know everything. In my life I already forgot more than you ever know.
Neil Gaiman
In the case of 'Ocean at the End of the Lane,' it's a book about helplessness. It's a book about family, it's a book about being 7 in a world of people who are bigger than you, and more dangerous, and stepping into territory that you don't entirely understand.
Neil Gaiman
Somebody said that writers are like otters... Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do a better trick or a different trick because they'd already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We've done it, so let's do something different.
Neil Gaiman
There are little pockets of old time in London, where things and places stay the same, like bubble in amber.
Neil Gaiman
Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told — told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.
Neil Gaiman
Where magic is concerned, there is always an initial decision, an initial willingness to let it enter your life. If that is not there neither is magic.
Neil Gaiman
The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.
Neil Gaiman
It's still National Library Week. You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow. Sometime this week, anyway. Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source of funding.
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
