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.

I toyed briefly with an image someone once mentioned to me, of a village in the shadow of a twin-peaked mountain. In the morning the sun rises. At lunch it sets behind the mountain. In the early afternoon it rises once more. The cocks crow for the second time, and later the sun sets again. No. One peak. Metaphors should not be belaboured.

She was the storm, she was the lightning, she was the adult world with all its power and all its secrets and all its foolish casual cruelty.

The greatest satisfaction you can obtain from life is your pleasure in producing, in your own individual way, something of value to your fellowmen. That is creative living! For you, life can be a succession of glorious adventures. Or it can be a monotonous bore. Take your choice!

Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.

I love making things. I love building things. I love the idea that something's in the world that wasn't there before.

Image
I thought I was your destination. Looks like I was just another stop on the line.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.

Image
I was always so relieved that anyone wants to publish anything I've written.

I kept starting 'Anansi Boys' as a movie and stopping, and eventually wrote the novel and was happy.

Because there are mysteries. Because there are things that people are forbidden to speak about. Because there are things they do not remember.

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?

Truly life is wasted on the living.

There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.

Do you know why I stopped being Delight, my brother? I do. There are things not in your book. There are paths outside this garden.

People kill what they fear. They burned, and drowned, and hanged those they saw as witches, the devil's servants: the wise women and the cunning men, the unfortunate, the lost and the strange
