There's a tale in the Caballa that suggests that the Angel of Death is so beautiful that upon seeing it (or him, or her) you fall in love so hard, so fast, that your soul is pulled out through your eyes. I like that story.
Neil Gaiman
What are these fundamental principles, if they are not atoms? Stories. And they give me hope.

Neil Gaiman
We live in a world in which the only utopian visions arrive in commercial breaks: magical visions of an impossibly hospitable world, peopled by bright-eyed attractive men, women, children... Where nobody dies... In my worlds people died. And I thought that was honest. I thought I was being honest.
Neil Gaiman
The important thing to understand about American history, wrote Mr. Ibis, in his leather-bound journal, is that it is fictional, a charcoal-sketched simplicity for the children, or the easily bored.
Neil Gaiman
Well, he said, f’r example, if they ask where you’ve come from, you could say ‘Behind me,’and if they asked where you’re going, you’d say ‘In front of me.
Neil Gaiman
The world seemed to shimmer a little at the edges.
Neil Gaiman
If you, as a parent, raise your children well, they won't need you anymore. If you did it properly, they go away.
Neil Gaiman
What do I do now?” “I don’t know. Fade away, perhaps. Or find another role.
Neil Gaiman
The great thing about Batman and Superman, in truth, is that they are literally transcendent. They are better than most of the stories they are in.
Neil Gaiman
I've never known anyone who was what he or she seemed or at least, was only what he or she seemed. People carry worlds within them.
Neil Gaiman
You can't run away from home without destroying somebody's world.
Neil Gaiman
He had had a severe shock some weeks earlier, when, having narrowly failed to capture a large grey-brown hare for his dinner, it had stopped at the edge of the forest, looked at him with disdain, and said, 'Well, I hope you're proud of yourself, that's all,' and had scampered off into the long grass
Neil Gaiman
What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul.
Neil Gaiman
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled.
Neil Gaiman
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
Neil Gaiman
Delirium: 'What's the name of the word for the precise moment when you realize that you've actually forgotten how it felt to make love to somebody you really liked a long time ago?' Dream: 'There isn't one.' Delirium: 'Oh. I thought maybe there was.'
Neil Gaiman
