More quotes by 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
If you have something specific and visible to fear, rather than something that could be anything, it is easier.
Neil Gaiman
For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.
Neil Gaiman
I'm just going to stay here, in the darkness under the arch. I can hear you all out there, trip-trapping, trip-trapping over my bridge. Oh yes, I can hear you. But I'm not coming out.
Neil Gaiman
All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us and we must walk that road to the end.
Neil Gaiman
There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song.
Neil Gaiman
I could be blindfolded and dropped into the deepest ocean and I would know where to find you. I could be buried a hundred miles underground and I would know where you are.
Neil Gaiman
You must have a bladder like Lake Erie. I think empires rose and fell in the time it took you to pee. I could hear it the whole time. Thank you. Do you want something?
Neil Gaiman
I don't know. I had to be something, didn't I?
Neil Gaiman
I realized the other day that about the only author I genuinely read for pure pleasure is one of the worst authors in the world, a guy called Harry Stephen Keeler, a long dead American mystery writer. He was probably the greatest bad writer America ever produced.
Neil Gaiman
I didn't like people rewriting my dialogue. I didn't like the fact that we'd start a comic with the Joker, and by the time we inked it, he would have turned into the Scarecrow.
Neil Gaiman
I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.
Neil Gaiman
It doesn't matter that you didn't believe in us, said Mr. Ibis. We believed in you.
Neil Gaiman
The right song can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties.
Neil Gaiman
I guess it's just another one of life's little mysteries. I'm tired of mysteries. Yeah? I think they add a kind of zest to the world. Like salt in a stew.
Neil Gaiman
Yes. We both have a bad feeling. Tonight we shall take our bad feelings and share them, and face them. We shall mourn. We shall drain the bitter dregs of mortality. Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled, but halved. No man is an island.
Neil Gaiman
I think most things are pretty magical, and that it's less a matter of belief than it is one of just stopping to notice.
Neil Gaiman
Fear is contagious. You can catch it.
Neil Gaiman
As sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend will always disappoint you in the end.
Neil Gaiman
That is the eternal folly of man. To be chasing after the sweet flesh, without realizing that it is simply a pretty cover for the bones.
Neil Gaiman
