We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.
Neil Gaiman

Stories are the things that allow us to persuade each other that we're human.
Neil Gaiman
Image
To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.
Neil Gaiman

Writing may or may not be your salvation it might or might not be your destiny. But that does not matter. What matters right now are the words, one after another. Find the next word. Write it down.

I don't necessarily think stories have functions any more than diamonds have functions, or the sky has a function... Stories exist. They keep us sane, I think. We tell each other stories, we believe stories. I love watching the slow rise of the urban legend. They're the stories that we use to explain ourselves to ourselves.

We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.

The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision

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.

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

So, if a city has a personality, maybe it also has a soul. Maybe it dreams.

We save our lives in such unlikely ways.

Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
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.

I realized the other day that about the only author I genuinely read for pure pleasure is one of the worst authors in the world, a guy called Harry Stephen Keeler, a long dead American mystery writer. He was probably the greatest bad writer America ever produced.

There are people you do not want to upset in the world - the politically disenfranchized who feel they have nothing to lose, those who feel that the time has come for revolution ... then out on the edges beyond any of those are science fiction fans whose favorite show has been canceled in an untimely way.

It has occasionally been remarked upon that it is as easy to overlook something large and obvious as it is to overlook something small and niggling, and that the large things one overlooks often cause problems.

The best thing about doing a signing tour is that numbers become faces. I got to sign books for six or seven thousand people, all of whom were dreadfully nice. Everything else, the interviews, the hotels, the plane travel, the best-seller lists, even the sushi, gets old awfully fast. Well, maybe not the sushi.

I like reading. I prefer not reading on my computer, because that makes whatever I am reading feel like work. I do not mind reading on my iPad.

Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.
