More quotes by Neil Gaiman
You see, the outcome of the battle is unimportant. What matters is the chaos, and the slaughter.
Neil Gaiman
The moonlight was enough. It would do.
Neil Gaiman
I love CGI if it's invisible. I don't like it when it's there and obvious.
Neil Gaiman
I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through the dreams and the dreamer will wake, and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be.
Neil Gaiman
What do I do now?” “I don’t know. Fade away, perhaps. Or find another role.
Neil Gaiman
He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.
Neil Gaiman
If you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up.

I'd love to write some porn, but I don't know if I have the right engines. When I was a young man and I was tempted to write porn, imaginary parents would appear over my shoulder and read what I was writing just about the point that I managed to banish the imaginary parents, real children would lean over my shoulder and read what I was writing.

I think . . . I said things to Silas. He'll be angry.' 'If he didn't care about you, you couldn't upset him,' was all she said.

The magic of comics is that there are three people involved in any comic. There's whoever's writing it and whoever's drawing it. And then there's whoever's reading it because they are creating the movement. They are creating the illusion of time passing.
Neil Gaiman
Firstly, there no such person as Death. Second, Death's this tall guy with a bone face, like a skeletal monk, with a scythe and an hourglass and a big white horse and a penchant for playing chess with Scandinavians. Third, he doesn't exist either.
Neil Gaiman
I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for the Sandman. It was immediately cut by the editor [Karen Berger]. She told me, There's no masturbation in the DC Universe. To which my reaction was, Well, that explains a lot about the DC Universe.
Neil Gaiman
The ties of blood, said Spider, are stronger than water. Water's not strong, objected Fat Charlie.
Neil Gaiman
I imagine the world dividing into the people who want to feed their children, and the ones shooting at them.
Neil Gaiman
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.
Neil Gaiman
The Doctor: Sorry, do you have a name? Idris: Seven hundred years and finally he asks. The Doctor: But what do I call you? Idris: I think you call me... Sexy? The Doctor: [embarrassed] Only when we're alone. Idris: We are alone. The Doctor: Oh. Come on then, Sexy.
Neil Gaiman
Fiction gives us empathy: it puts us inside the minds of other people, gives us the gifts of seeing the world through their eyes. Fiction is a lie that tells us true things, over and over.
Neil Gaiman
She found herself to be quite worried that something would jump out at her, so she began to whistle. She thought it might make it harder for things to jump out at her, if she was whistling.
Neil Gaiman
The wise man knows when to keep silent. Only the fool tells all he knows.
Neil Gaiman
The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.
