Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
It felt like a small forever.
Neil Gaiman
I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.
Neil Gaiman
There's not much high and low culture any more: there's just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it's good art or bad art.
Neil Gaiman
Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.
Neil Gaiman
I was a reader. I loved reading. Reading things gave me pleasure. I was very good at most subjects in school, not because I had any particular aptitude in them, but because normally on the first day of school they'd hand out schoolbooks, and I'd read them--which would mean that I'd know what was coming up, because I'd read it.
Neil Gaiman
An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards.
Neil Gaiman
Too much talking these days. Talk talk talk. This country would get along much better if people learned how to suffer in silence.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes I suspect that we build our traps ourselves, then we back into them, pretending amazement the while.
Neil Gaiman
That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl.
Neil Gaiman
Read. Read anything. Read the things they say are good for you, and the things they claim are junk. You'll find what you need to find. Just read.
Neil Gaiman
You don't have to stay anywhere forever.
Neil Gaiman
Human beings do not like being pushed about by gods. They may seem to, on the surface, but somewhere on the inside, underneath it all, they sense it, and they resent it.
Neil Gaiman
You'll think this is a bit silly, but I'm a bit--well, I have a thing about birds. What, a phobia? Sort of. Well, that's the common term for an irrational fear of birds. What do they call a rational fear of birds, then?
Neil Gaiman
He told me not to seek revenge, but to seek the Buddha,' said the fox spirit, sadly. 'Wise counsel,' said the fox of dreams. 'Vegeance can be a road that has no ending. You would be wise to avoid it. And...?' 'I shall seek the Buddha,' said the fox, with a toss of her head. 'But first I shall seek revenge.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.
Neil Gaiman
I have no plans to love you, said Coraline. No matter what. You can't make me love you.
Neil Gaiman
My people, we stay indoors. We have keyboards. We have darkness. It's quiet.
Neil Gaiman
For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.
Neil Gaiman
I'm one of those writers who tends to be really good at making outlines and sticking to them. I'm very good at doing that, but I don't like it. It sort of takes a lot of the fun out.
Neil Gaiman
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.
