Quote

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.

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.

Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.

Oh, monsters are scared. That's why they're monsters.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.

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.

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

Sleep my little baby-oh Sleep until you waken When you wake you'll see the world If I'm not mistaken... Kiss a lover Dance a measure, Find your name And buried treasure... Face your life Its pain, Its pleasure, Leave no path untaken.

Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.

All bookshelves are magical.

Writing, and especially writing a novel, where you get to sit in a room by yourself with either a pen and a paper or a computer for a couple of years, is a very solitary occupation. You can read sales figures - a hundred thousand books sold, half a million books sold - but they are just numbers.

The real problem with stories - if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.
Neil Gaiman
Image
You must never imagine, that just because something is funny, it is not also dangerous.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Really, he thought, if you couldn't trust a poet to offer sensible advice, who could you trust?
Neil Gaiman
Image
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.

Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?

We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.

I didn't like people rewriting my dialogue. I didn't like the fact that we'd start a comic with the Joker, and by the time we inked it, he would have turned into the Scarecrow.
