How old are you? asked Door. Richard was pleased she had asked he would never have dared. As old as my tongue, said Hunter, primly, and a little older than my teeth.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Love isn't quite desire... Love is probably a little bit in The Sandman's domain. Love is partly a dream, it's partly to do with desire, and sometimes it's partly to do with death, as well. It's also very often something to do with delirium.
Neil Gaiman
When I was a child, adults would tell me not to make things up, warning me of what would happen if I did. As far as I can tell so far, it seems to involve lots of foreign travel and not having to get up too early in the morning.
Neil Gaiman
Words save our lives, sometimes.
Neil Gaiman
The things that really change the world, according to Chaos theory, are the tiny things. A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazonian jungle, and subsequently a storm ravages half of Europe.
Neil Gaiman
Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.
Neil Gaiman
The boy had the towering arrogance only seen in the greatest of artists and all nine-year-old boys.
Neil Gaiman
None of us exist in a world that is the same world that any of the rest of us live in. The world that's important is the world behind each of our eyes, which is something that none of the rest of us can access.
Neil Gaiman
Nobody's American, said Wednesday. Not originally. That's my point.
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever had one of those days when something just seems to be trying to tell you somebody?
Neil Gaiman
Lives are snowflakes - unique in detail, forming patterns we have seen before, but as like one another as peas in a pod (and have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for another, after a minute's close inspection.)
Neil Gaiman
We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
Neil Gaiman
So, if a city has a personality, maybe it also has a soul. Maybe it dreams.
Neil Gaiman
I think radio plays are my favourite medium, as they make the listener work and create and contribute in a way that TV and film can never do, and they have an immediacy that written prose often lacks.
Neil Gaiman
So I went out and bought myself a copy of the Writer and Artist Yearbook, bought lots of magazines and got on the phone and talked to editors about ideas for stories. Pretty soon I found myself hired to do interviews and articles and went off and did them.
Neil Gaiman
Well meaning adults can easily destroy a child's love of reading - do not discourage children from reading because you feel they're reading the wrong thing. There is no such thing as the wrong thing to be reading and no bad fiction for kids.
Neil Gaiman
Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.
Neil Gaiman
The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.
Neil Gaiman
The best thing about doing a signing tour is that numbers become faces. I got to sign books for six or seven thousand people, all of whom were dreadfully nice. Everything else, the interviews, the hotels, the plane travel, the best-seller lists, even the sushi, gets old awfully fast. Well, maybe not the sushi.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
Neil Gaiman
Fear is contagious. You can catch it.
