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
We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness.
Neil Gaiman
All bookshelves are magical.
Neil Gaiman
Everybody who has ever read Sandman knows exactly what the Sandman looks like, which is more than anybody who has ever read The Catcher in the Rye can say about Holden Caufield.
Neil Gaiman
I'm a stranger, pointed out Bod. You're not, she said, definitely. You're a little boy. And then she said, And you're my friend. So you can't be a stranger.
Neil Gaiman
For me, I would rather read a good book, from a contented author. I don't really care what it takes to produce that.
Neil Gaiman
How old are you? asked Door. Richard was pleased she had asked he would never have dared. As old as my tongue, said Hunter, primly, and a little older than my teeth.
Neil Gaiman
Work. Home. The pub. Meeting girls. Living in the city. Life. Is that all there is?
Neil Gaiman
But libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.
Neil Gaiman
If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.
Neil Gaiman
Stories are the things that allow us to persuade each other that we're human.
Neil Gaiman
None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.
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
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
America was, to them, the place that good people went to when they died. They were prepared to believe just about anything could happen in America.
Neil Gaiman
Someone killed my Mother and my Father and my Sister? Yes, someone did. A Man? A Man. Which means, said Bod, you're asking the wrong question. Silas raised an eyebrow. How so? Well, said Bod. If I go outside in the world, the question isn't who will keep me safe from him? No? No. It's who will keep him safe
Neil Gaiman
The sky had never seemed so sky the world had never seemed so world.
Neil Gaiman
It begins, as most things begin, with a song.
Neil Gaiman
Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.
Neil Gaiman
There are some dogs which, when you meet them, remind you that, despite thousands of years of manmade evolution, every dog is still only two meals away from being a wolf.
Neil Gaiman
