Quote

He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.

With 'Stardust', I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.
Neil Gaiman

Children, as I have said, use back ways and hidden paths, while adults take roads and official paths.

As a journalist, I would talk to writers, directors, creative people, and discover that for an awful lot of them, the moment they became successful, that was all they were allowed to do. So you end up talking to the bestselling science-fiction author who wrote a historical-fiction novel that everybody loved, but no one would publish.

Be hole, be dust, be dream, be wind/Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind,/Now slip, now slide, now move unseen,/Above, beneath, betwixt, between.

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.

For love is no part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Nothing's ever the same, she said. Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I watch with envious eyes and mind, the single-souled who dare not feel The wind that blows beyond the moon, who do not hear the fairy reel
Neil Gaiman
Image
Actually I didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, but he could tell I was extremely cross.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I would like to see anyone, prophet, king or God, convince a thousand cats to do the same thing at the same time.

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

You're sick. Sick and evil and weird.

Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.

Love isn't quite desire... Love is probably a little bit in The Sandman's domain. Love is partly a dream, it's partly to do with desire, and sometimes it's partly to do with death, as well. It's also very often something to do with delirium.

Different people remember things differently, and you'll not get any two people to remember anything the same, whether they were there or not.

If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.
Neil Gaiman
Image
He couldn’t see why people made such a fuss about people eating their silly old fruit anyway, but life would be a lot less fun if they didn’t. And there was never an apple, in Adam’s opinion, that wasn’t worth the trouble you got into for eating it.

We get to experience the same thing in very different ways with different parts of ourselves.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Sometimes big things happen, and they echo. Those echoes crash across worlds. They are the ripples in the fabric of things. Often they manifest as storms. Reality is a fragile thing, after all.
Neil Gaiman
Image
When I was a child, adults would tell me not to make things up, warning me of what would happen if I did. As far as I can tell so far, it seems to involve lots of foreign travel and not having to get up too early in the morning.
