More quotes by Neil Gaiman
It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.
Neil Gaiman
Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.
Neil Gaiman
You were her way here, and it's a dangerous thing to be a door.
Neil Gaiman
I was the kind of person who knew what he wanted to do I wanted to write, I wanted not to be in school, and I felt that university would just be spending another four years of my life before I could write.
Neil Gaiman
If writing a novel is a year's exile to a foreign country, writing a short story is a weekend spent somewhere exotic. They're much more like vacations, more exciting and different, and you're off.
Neil Gaiman
The view changes from where you are standing. Words can wound, and wounds can heal. All of these things are true.
Neil Gaiman
Are you scared?’ asked Mr. Ibis. ‘Not really.’ ‘Well, try to cultivate the emotions of true awe and spiritual terror, as we walk. They are the appropriate feelings for the situation at hand.
Neil Gaiman
Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Neil Gaiman
Actually I didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die, but he could tell I was extremely cross.
Neil Gaiman
Nothing [the demon] could think up was half as bad as the stuff [people] thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into their design somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.
Neil Gaiman
It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.
Neil Gaiman
Talk is free but the wise man chooses when to spend his words.
Neil Gaiman
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
Neil Gaiman
Reading is important. Books are important. Librarians are important. (Also, libraries are not child-care facilities, but sometimes feral children raise themselves among the stacks.)
Neil Gaiman
Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story.
Neil Gaiman
The trouble with everything, these days, for me, is time. There is only one me. There are a ridiculous number of demands on my time. There are so many things I'm trying to do. It's so much more about when I'm going to get time to do it, if I get time.
Neil Gaiman
This is how you can tell a real photographer: mostly, a real photographer does not say 'I wish I had my camera on me right now'. Instead a real photographer pulls out her camera and takes the photograph.
Neil Gaiman
Something told him that something was coming to an end. Not the world, exactly. Just the summer. There would be other summers, but there would never be one like this. Ever again.
Neil Gaiman
Only the phoenix rises and does not descend. And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost.
Neil Gaiman
You're sick. Sick and evil and weird.
Neil Gaiman
