Neil Gaiman
Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.
Neil Gaiman
For me, closing libraries is the equivalent of eating your seed corn to save a little money.

Neil Gaiman
When I was young, I was reading anything and anything I could lay my hands on. I was a veracious-to-the-point-of-insane reader.
Neil Gaiman
I guess it's just another one of life's little mysteries. I'm tired of mysteries. Yeah? I think they add a kind of zest to the world. Like salt in a stew.
Neil Gaiman
