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
If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.
Neil Gaiman
Style is made up of whatever an author can't avoid doing.
Neil Gaiman
You know what my mum once said?’ said Rosie… ‘She said that if a just-married couple put a coin in a jar every time they make love in their first year, and take a coin out for every time that they make love in the years that follow, the jar will never be emptied.’ And this means…?’ Well’, she said. ‘It’s interesting, isn’t it?
Neil Gaiman
The search for the word gets no easier but nobody else is going to write your novel for you.
Neil Gaiman
Goodnight world. While I sleep, I hope you'll all continue to do whatever it is you do. Unless you murder sleeping authors. Don't do that.
Neil Gaiman
I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful.
Neil Gaiman
