Agnes was the worst prophet that's ever existed. Because she was always right. That's why the book never sold.
Neil Gaiman
I was bright, and I could use that as a weapon: words can wound, whatever those sticks and stones sayings claim about them never hurting, and I could use them if I had to.
Neil Gaiman
Books are defensive, not offensive (unless you're the puzzled adult trying to make the kid with the book interact).
Neil Gaiman
There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow endless drizzle.
Neil Gaiman
That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.

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.

Neil Gaiman
Nearly' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades.
Neil Gaiman
When things go wrong, this is what you should do. Make good art.
Neil Gaiman
Nobody actually looks like what they really are on the inside.
Neil Gaiman
The world is always ending, for someone.
Neil Gaiman
Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
All your tomorrows start here.

You know, I'm normally so sanguine. But... being accused of rushing these two books out to cash in on the Newbery Medal, without access to time travel equipment or anything, just makes me want to bang my forehead gently against a tree for half an hour. Is it too much to ask people to think?
Neil Gaiman
She really was pretty, for a grown-up person, but when you are seven, beauty is an abstraction, not an imperative. I wonder what I would have done if she had smiled at me like that now: whether I would have handed my mind or my heart or my identify to her for the asking, as my father did.
Neil Gaiman
With 'Stardust', I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.
