Neil Gaiman
Image
There was Virginia Boote, the food and restaurant critic, who had once been a great beauty but was now a grand and magnificent ruin, and who delighted in her ruination.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?
Neil Gaiman
Image
We build a shell around it, like an oyster dealing with a painful particle of grit, coating it with smooth pearl layers in order to cope. This is how we walk and talk and function , day in, day out. Immune to others’ pain and loss.
Neil Gaiman

Walk any path in Destiny's garden, and you will be forced to choose, not once but many times.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Whatever's happening, she said, eventually, it can all be sorted out. She saw the expression on my face then, worried. Scared even. And she said, After pancakes.

I will be brave, thought Coraline. No, I am brave.

That's the trouble with you young people. You think because you ain't been here long, you know everything. In my life I already forgot more than you ever know.

I really like being able to laugh at my own jokes.

I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.
