More quotes by Neil Gaiman
We are small but we are many We are many we are small We were here before you rose We will be here when you fall
Neil Gaiman
Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Everything.
Neil Gaiman
Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.
Neil Gaiman
We...we could be friends.' We COULD be rare specimens of an exotic breed of dancing African elephants, but we're not. At least, I'M not.
Neil Gaiman
Songs remain. They last...A song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. That's the power of songs.
Neil Gaiman
The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.
Neil Gaiman
The best way to show people true things is from a direction that they had not imagined the truth coming.
Neil Gaiman
For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.
Neil Gaiman
I have no plans to love you, said Coraline. No matter what. You can't make me love you.
Neil Gaiman
In order for stories to work - for kids and for adults - they should scare. And you should triumph. There's no point in triumphing over evil if the evil isn't scary.
Neil Gaiman
Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.
Neil Gaiman
How do I know you'll keep your word? asked Coraline. I swear it, said the other mother. I swear it on my own mother's grave. Does she have a grave? asked Coraline. Oh yes, said the other mother. I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back.
Neil Gaiman
Of course, everyone's parents are embarrassing. It goes with the territory. The nature of parents is to embarrass merely by existing, just as it is the nature of children of a certain age to cringe with embarrassment, shame, and mortification should their parents so much as speak to them on the street.
Neil Gaiman
EVERY ENDING IS A NEW BEGINNING. YOUR LUCKY NUMBER IS NONE. YOUR LUCKY COLOUR IS DEAD. Motto: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
Neil Gaiman
He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring because yesterday has brought it.
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
Charitably... I think... sometimes, perhaps, one must change or die. And, in the end, there were, perhaps, limits to how much he could let himself change.
Neil Gaiman
All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them.
Neil Gaiman
I like 'pencil-necked weasel'. It has 'pencil' in it. Pencils are good things. You can draw or write things with pencils. I think it's what you call someone when you're worried that using a long word like 'intellectual' may have too many syllables. It's not something that people who have serious, important things to say call other people.
Neil Gaiman
As a teenager I wrote to R.A. Lafferty. And he responded, too, with letters that were like R.A. Lafferty short stories, filled with elliptical answers to straight questions and simple answers to complicated ones.
Neil Gaiman
