More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Nothing [the demon] could think up was half as bad as the stuff [people] thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into their design somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes I suspect that we build our traps ourselves, then we back into them, pretending amazement the while.
Neil Gaiman
We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
Neil Gaiman
If you cared enough about your characters, what happened to them was interesting... it's important to care about them, about who they are and what they do...I don't really care whose side they are on, and they can be monstrous on the outside or, worse, on the inside, but you still have to want to spend time with them.
Neil Gaiman
I suppose the point you grow up is the point you let the dreams go.
Neil Gaiman
One of the things I'm concerned about is that I really want to make sure the races of all the characters are kept. I don't like it when black characters become white in movies, or things like that.
Neil Gaiman
It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.
Neil Gaiman
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.
Neil Gaiman
That doesn't happen, she explained. Stars fall. They don't go back up again. You could be the first, he told her.
Neil Gaiman
It's not the fish you catch, it's the peace of mind you take home at the end of the day.
Neil Gaiman
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
Neil Gaiman
Too soon, the sun will rise.
Neil Gaiman
I tweet, therefore my entire life has shrunk to 140 character chunks of instant event and predigested gnomic wisdom. And swearing.
Neil Gaiman
The sky had never seemed so sky the world had never seemed so world.
Neil Gaiman
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Neil Gaiman
The trouble with everything, these days, for me, is time. There is only one me. There are a ridiculous number of demands on my time. There are so many things I'm trying to do. It's so much more about when I'm going to get time to do it, if I get time.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
If a Devil is one who dares, when others hold back, then I am happy to play the Devil in this Mystery, boy.
Neil Gaiman
