Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.

You don't have to stay anywhere forever.

Image
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.
Neil Gaiman

Different people remember things differently, and you'll not get any two people to remember anything the same, whether they were there or not.

Have you ever had one of those days when something just seems to be trying to tell you somebody?
Neil Gaiman

Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art.

But libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.

Agnes was the worst prophet that's ever existed. Because she was always right. That's why the book never sold.

Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.

All bookshelves are magical.

Shadow had heard too many people telling each other not to repress their feelings, to let their emotions out, let the pain go. Shadow thought there was a lot to be said for bottling up emotions. If you did it long enough and deep enough, he suspected, pretty soon you wouldn't feel anything at all.

You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Books are defensive, not offensive (unless you're the puzzled adult trying to make the kid with the book interact).
Neil Gaiman
Image
I mean, maybe I am crazy. I mean, maybe. But if this is all there is, then I don't want to be sane.

This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard.

Dreams are composed of many things, my son. Of images and hopes, of fears and memories. Memories of the past, and memories of the future.

Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always impressed by their sheer awesomeness.
Neil Gaiman

Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told — told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.

None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.

You know that I love you. And despite herself, Coraline nodded. It was true. The other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold. In the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet, whose behavior was no longer amusing.
