More quotes by Neil Gaiman
There is something about riding a unicorn, for those people who still can, which is unlike any other experience: exhilarating, and intoxicating, and fine.
Neil Gaiman
Do you know why I stopped being Delight, my brother? I do. There are things not in your book. There are paths outside this garden.
Neil Gaiman
That doesn't happen, she explained. Stars fall. They don't go back up again. You could be the first, he told her.
Neil Gaiman
How do I know you'll keep your word? asked Coraline. I swear it, said the other mother. I swear it on my own mother's grave. Does she have a grave? asked Coraline. Oh yes, said the other mother. I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back.
Neil Gaiman
People can get involved in wonderfully creative ways that have nothing to do with you, but spark off things you begin with.
Neil Gaiman
Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?
Neil Gaiman
I lay on the bed and lost myself in stories. I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyways.
Neil Gaiman
Soon enough his head would be swimming with tales of derring-do and high adventure, tales of beautiful maidens kissed, of evildoers shot with pistols or fought with swords, of bags of gold, of diamonds as big as the tip of your thumb, of lost cities and of vast mountains, of steam-trains and clipper ships, of pampas, oceans, deserts, tundra.
Neil Gaiman
The future had suddenly become unknowable: anything could happen: the train of my life had jumped the rails and headed off across the fields and coming down the lane with me, then.
Neil Gaiman
Anywhere that I can't check my email is a good place to write!
Neil Gaiman
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled.
Neil Gaiman
Of course, everyone's parents are embarrassing. It goes with the territory. The nature of parents is to embarrass merely by existing, just as it is the nature of children of a certain age to cringe with embarrassment, shame, and mortification should their parents so much as speak to them on the street.
Neil Gaiman
The price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted.
Neil Gaiman
Bod quite liked crows. He thought they were funny and he liked the way they helped to keep the graveyard tidy.
Neil Gaiman
A philosopher once asked, Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless, really...Do the stars gaze back? Now that's a question.
Neil Gaiman
Coraline wondered why so few of the adults she met made any sense.
Neil Gaiman
The important thing to understand about American history, wrote Mr. Ibis, in his leather-bound journal, is that it is fictional, a charcoal-sketched simplicity for the children, or the easily bored.
Neil Gaiman
There's definitely a feeling with a short story that it's pure story telling. You're not really worried about theme. You're not going to stay with the characters long enough to live your life with them. And you have different kinds of relationships with them.
Neil Gaiman
Tools, of course, can be the subtlest of traps.
Neil Gaiman
You know what my mum once said?’ said Rosie… ‘She said that if a just-married couple put a coin in a jar every time they make love in their first year, and take a coin out for every time that they make love in the years that follow, the jar will never be emptied.’ And this means…?’ Well’, she said. ‘It’s interesting, isn’t it?
