Genre fiction, as Terry Pratchett has pointed out, is a stew. You take stuff out of the pot, you put stuff back. The stew bubbles on.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
People populate the darkness with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales.
Neil Gaiman
That doesn't happen, she explained. Stars fall. They don't go back up again. You could be the first, he told her.
Neil Gaiman
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
Neil Gaiman
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
You think you're being given all of these things: phones that can communicate with other devices, car service that's better than a taxi, all of these amazing things that are available to you at any time. It isn't until you've swum across the river that you can start to see the negative aspects of it all.
Neil Gaiman
Soon enough his head would be swimming with tales of derring-do and high adventure, tales of beautiful maidens kissed, of evildoers shot with pistols or fought with swords, of bags of gold, of diamonds as big as the tip of your thumb, of lost cities and of vast mountains, of steam-trains and clipper ships, of pampas, oceans, deserts, tundra.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.
Neil Gaiman
Behind the curtain's mystic fold The glowing future lies unrolled.
Neil Gaiman
It’s part of growing up, I suppose…you always have to leave something behind you.
Neil Gaiman
We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.
Neil Gaiman
That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.
Neil Gaiman
You could fire a machine gun randomly through the pages of Lord of the Rings and never hit any women.
Neil Gaiman
The future had suddenly become unknowable: anything could happen: the train of my life had jumped the rails and headed off across the fields and coming down the lane with me, then.
Neil Gaiman
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
Neil Gaiman
Like the newspapers used to say, if the truth isn't big enough, you print the legend.
Neil Gaiman
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Neil Gaiman
Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.
Neil Gaiman
Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.
Neil Gaiman
Notoriety wasn't as good as fame, but was heaps better than obscurity.
Neil Gaiman
You know that I love you. And despite herself, Coraline nodded. It was true. The other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold. In the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet, whose behavior was no longer amusing.
Neil Gaiman
