Quote

There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song.

I walk across the dreaming sands under the pale moon: through the dreams of countries and cities, past dreams of places long gone and times beyond recall.
Neil Gaiman

You can't just boss bacteria around like that, said the younger Mrs. Hempstock. They don't like it. Stuff and silliness, said the old lady. You leave wigglers alone and they'll be carrying on like anything. Show them who's boss and they can't do enough for you. You've tasted my cheese.

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.

I don't know if proud is the right word, but I am somebody who does not, on the whole, have the highest regard for my own stuff in that when I look all I get to see are the flaws.

It does not matter where you come from, if you walk toward the truth you will reach it, whatever path you take.
Neil Gaiman
Image
We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.

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.

Dahling, when God put teeth in your mouth, he ruined a perfectly good arsehole.

I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I know that the way to be a really successful writer is to write the same kind of book over and over again. Find the kind of thing that people like and just write one of those over and over again. I don't do that. I just keep doing different things.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I remember making that vow, the one not to forget. Not to remember what happened, but to remember who I was and how I felt.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I think...that I would rather recollect a life mis-spent on fragile things than spent avoiding moral debt.
Neil Gaiman
Image
She was the storm, she was the lightning, she was the adult world with all its power and all its secrets and all its foolish casual cruelty.

It's a given that we exist in a world where we have to live in continuity every day no one is immune to that, in life or romance novels. By the same token, it's not something I find terribly important.

Death and Famine and War and Pollution continued biking towards Tadfield. And Grievous Bodily Harm, Cruelty To Animals, Things Not Working Properly Even After You've Given Them A Good Thumping but secretly No Alcohol Lager, and Really Cool People travelled with them.

Not gay, just never met the right woman.

There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they know something you don't.

If you have something specific and visible to fear, rather than something that could be anything, it is easier.
Neil Gaiman

He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.
