The lower you start, the more opportunities you have.
Neil Gaiman
Potentially evil. Potentially good, too, I suppose. Just this huge powerful potentiality waiting to be shaped.
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
I was not so old that I would deny my own senses.
Neil Gaiman
Coraline wondered why so few of the adults she met made any sense.
Neil Gaiman
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
Neil Gaiman
It's not the fish you catch, it's the peace of mind you take home at the end of the day.
Neil Gaiman
So the day became one of waiting, which was, he knew, a sin: moments were to be experienced waiting was a sin against both the time that was still to come and the moments one was currently disregarding.
Neil Gaiman
You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything.
Neil Gaiman
I loved all books that I could read, and I never knew if I was ready for it until I tried to read it, so I tried to read everything.
Neil Gaiman
