You know how is it when you love someone? And the hard part, the bad part, the Jerry Springer Show part is that you never stop loving someone. There's always a piece of them in your heart.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Nobody will ever hurt her. She’ll just smile her faint vague wonderful smile and walk away.

Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.

I had started to feel that somewhere in the second half of the 20th century, the idea of page-turning as a good thing had been lost. You were getting books that were the equivalent of absolutely beautifully prepared dishes of food that didn't taste like anything much.

Neil Gaiman
Image
I always figure there are novels and short stories, and in those, I'm God. No one tells me what to do. I don't have to lose a page, or cut anything, it's just mine. Then there are other things where you're up against realities.

Rain in the graveyard, and the world puddled into blurred reflections.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Often you will discover that the harder you work, and the more wisely you work, the luckier you get. But there is luck, and it helps.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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
Image
It is not that I was credulous, simply that I belived in all things dark and dangerous. It was part of my young creed that the night was full of ghosts and witches, hungry and flapping and dressed completely in black.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Sometimes the best way to learn something is by doing it wrong and looking at what you did.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It doesn't matter that you didn't believe in us, said Mr. Ibis. We believed in you.

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?

There are a lot of artists who've said they'd like to work with me. To be honest, I'm not sure there is such a thing as an inappropriate artist. The trick is matching the artist with a story.
