Quote

He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
Neil Gaiman

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.

The biggest pitfall to avoid is not writing. Not writing is really, really easy to do, especially if you're a young writer. The hope that elves will come in the night and finish it for you, is a very common one to have. That is my main recommendation - you have to write, and you have to finish what you write and beyond that, it's all detail.

You don't have to stay anywhere forever.

People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.

As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.

Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.

Amy: This time can we... lose the bunk beds? The Doctor: No Bunk beds are cool, a bed with a ladder, you can't beat that!

I know that the way to be a really successful writer is to write the same kind of book over and over again. Find the kind of thing that people like and just write one of those over and over again. I don't do that. I just keep doing different things.

Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.

I don't know. I had to be something, didn't I?
Neil Gaiman

I thought about moving south, about continuing to run, continuing to pretend I was alive. But it was, I knew now, much too late for that. There are doors, after all, between the living and the dead, and they swing in both directions.

Remember your name. Do not lose hope ---what you seek will be found.

For some folks death is release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.

None of this is truly happening, he said to Shadow. He sounded miserable. It's all in your head. Best not to think of it.

The view changes from where you are standing. Words can wound, and wounds can heal. All of these things are true.
Neil Gaiman

I was a normal child. Which is to say, I was selfish and I was not entirely convinced of the existence of things that were not me, and I was certain, rock-solid, unshakeably certain, that I was the most important thing in creation. There was nothing that was more important to me than I was.

Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.
