There is something about riding a unicorn, for those people who still can, which is unlike any other experience: exhilarating, and intoxicating, and fine.

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Read the books you love, tell people about authors you like, and don’t worry about it.
Neil Gaiman
American Gods is about 200,000 words long, and I'm sure there are words that are simply in there 'cause I like them. I know I couldn't justify each and every one of them.
Neil Gaiman
I was a normal child. Which is to say, I was selfish and I was not entirely convinced of the existence of things that were not me, and I was certain, rock-solid, unshakeably certain, that I was the most important thing in creation. There was nothing that was more important to me than I was.
Neil Gaiman
America was, to them, the place that good people went to when they died. They were prepared to believe just about anything could happen in America.
Neil Gaiman
There's this thing, they have in french: L'espirit d'escalier. The spirit of the stairway. I don't think we have a word for it in English. It means, well, the clever things to say that you only think to yourself when you're on the way out.
Neil Gaiman
One of the things I'm concerned about is that I really want to make sure the races of all the characters are kept. I don't like it when black characters become white in movies, or things like that.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it. Once you’re in, the workers sort of assume that it must have been cleared by management and take no notice various freeloading insects have evolved a mellifluous existence because of this very fact. Humans act the same way.
Neil Gaiman
Fiction gives us empathy: it puts us inside the minds of other people, gives us the gifts of seeing the world through their eyes. Fiction is a lie that tells us true things, over and over.
Neil Gaiman
For a moment he thought she was about to hit him, which would have been bad, or even start crying, which would have been much, much worse.
Neil Gaiman
The search for the word gets no easier but nobody else is going to write your novel for you.
Neil Gaiman
EVERY ENDING IS A NEW BEGINNING. YOUR LUCKY NUMBER IS NONE. YOUR LUCKY COLOUR IS DEAD. Motto: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON.
Neil Gaiman
My stuff gets published in some countries as fiction and in some countries as fantasy. It's just where they think it will do best in the bookshops.
Neil Gaiman
You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.
Neil Gaiman
You see, the outcome of the battle is unimportant. What matters is the chaos, and the slaughter.
Neil Gaiman
Parameters are the things you bounce off to create art.
Neil Gaiman
Fear is contagious. You can catch it.
Neil Gaiman
Don't worry about trying to develop a style. Style is what you can't help doing. If you write enough, you draw enough, you'll have a style, whether you want it or not. Don't worry about whether you're commercial. Tell your own stories, draw your own pictures. Let other people follow you.
Neil Gaiman
You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business.
Neil Gaiman
Like some kind of particularly tenacious vampire the short story refuses to die, and seems at this point in time to be a wonderful length for our generation.
Neil Gaiman
People who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
