Neil Gaiman
My stuff gets published in some countries as fiction and in some countries as fantasy. It's just where they think it will do best in the bookshops.
Neil Gaiman
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman
If writing a novel is a year's exile to a foreign country, writing a short story is a weekend spent somewhere exotic. They're much more like vacations, more exciting and different, and you're off.
Neil Gaiman
Tools, of course, can be the subtlest of traps.
Neil Gaiman
You are an analog girl, living in a digital world.
Neil Gaiman
Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?
Neil Gaiman
When I was a kid, we actually lived in a house that had been divided in two at one point, which meant that one room in our house opened up onto a brick wall. And I was convinced all I had to do was just open it the right way and it wouldn't be a brick wall. So I'd sidle over to the door and I'd pull it open.

What are these fundamental principles, if they are not atoms? Stories. And they give me hope.
Neil Gaiman
Nothing's ever the same, she said. Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.
Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
Words save our lives, sometimes.
