The real problem with stories - if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Be boring, knowing everything. You have to give all that stuff up if you're going to muck about here.
Neil Gaiman
Image
That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I suppose the point you grow up is the point you let the dreams go.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I guess it's just another one of life's little mysteries. I'm tired of mysteries. Yeah? I think they add a kind of zest to the world. Like salt in a stew.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I always say that if you're a novelist, the challenge is not writing what you think ought to happen, but trying in some way to write what did happen in a world that doesn't necessarily exist.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through the dreams and the dreamer will wake, and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be.

Words save our lives, sometimes.

Dahling, when God put teeth in your mouth, he ruined a perfectly good arsehole.

Don't worry about trying to develop a style. Style is what you can't help doing. If you write enough, you draw enough, you'll have a style, whether you want it or not. Don't worry about whether you're commercial. Tell your own stories, draw your own pictures. Let other people follow you.
Neil Gaiman

We owe it to each other to tell stories.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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.

If you have something specific and visible to fear, rather than something that could be anything, it is easier.

Rain in the graveyard, and the world puddled into blurred reflections.
Neil Gaiman
Image
On the first day Coraline's family moved in, Miss Spink and Miss Forcible made a point of telling Coraline how dangerous the well was, and they warned her to be sure she kept away from it. So Coraline set off to explore for it, so that she knew where it was, to keep away from it properly.

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.
Neil Gaiman

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

Richard opened his hand, and the key stared up at him from his palm. By my crooked teeth, asked Richard, remembering, who am I?

Going off the grid is always good for me. It's the way that I've started books and finished books and gotten myself out of deadline dooms and things.

The price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted.
