Quote

Some of us claim that he was a messiah, and some think that he was just a man with very special powers. But that misses the point. Whatever he was, he changed the world.

Read the books you love, tell people about authors you like, and don’t worry about it.

I really don't know what I love you means. I think it means Don't leave me here alone.

He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement.

A short story is the ultimate close-up magic trick -- a couple of thousand words to take you around the universe or break your heart.

Somebody said that writers are like otters... Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do a better trick or a different trick because they'd already done that one.

She really was pretty, for a grown-up person, but when you are seven, beauty is an abstraction, not an imperative. I wonder what I would have done if she had smiled at me like that now: whether I would have handed my mind or my heart or my identify to her for the asking, as my father did.

I was one of those kids who had books on them. Before weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure, I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.

You're brave. You are the bravest person I know, and you are my friend. I don't care if you are imaginary.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.

Give me boredom. At least I know where I'm going to eat and sleep tonight.

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.

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'm writing. The pages are starting to stack up. My morale is improving the more I feel like a writer.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It is not that I was credulous, simply that I belived in all things dark and dangerous. It was part of my young creed that the night was full of ghosts and witches, hungry and flapping and dressed completely in black.

Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you ever will from something you never finished.
