Reading is important. Books are important. Librarians are important. (Also, libraries are not child-care facilities, but sometimes feral children raise themselves among the stacks.)

More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I asked him if it were a mirage, and he said yes. I said it was a dream, and he agreed, But said it was the desert's dream not his. And he told me that in a year or so, when he had aged enough for any man, then he would walk into the wind, until he saw the tents. This time, he said, he would go on with them.
Neil Gaiman
He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring because yesterday has brought it.
Neil Gaiman
That's the trouble with you young people. You think because you ain't been here long, you know everything. In my life I already forgot more than you ever know.
Neil Gaiman
There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow endless drizzle.
Neil Gaiman
Birds are the last of the dinosaurs. Tiny velociraptors with wings. Devouring defenseless wiggly things and, and nuts, and fish, and, and other birds. They get the early worms. And have you ever watched a chicken eat? They may look innocent, but birds are, well, they're vicious.
Neil Gaiman
I hope you'll make mistakes. If you're making mistakes, it means you're out there doing something.
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
Adult helplessness destroys children. Or it forces them to become tiny adults of their own.
Neil Gaiman
Rain in the graveyard, and the world puddled into blurred reflections.
Neil Gaiman
From meetings and partings none can ever escape. Nor from magic.
Neil Gaiman
You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.
Neil Gaiman
Can you believe it? Fifty miles from McDonald's. I didn't think there was anywhere in the world that was fifty miles from McDonald's.
Neil Gaiman
You mourn, for it is proper to mourn. But your grief serves you you do not become a slave to grief. You bid the dead farewell, and you continue.
Neil Gaiman
There are some dogs which, when you meet them, remind you that, despite thousands of years of manmade evolution, every dog is still only two meals away from being a wolf.
Neil Gaiman
All cats can see futures, and see echoes of the past. We can watch the passage of creatures from the infinity of now, from all the worlds like ours, only fractionally different. And we follow them with our eyes, ghost things, and the humans see nothing.
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
You don't have to test everything to destruction just to see if you made it right.
Neil Gaiman
It's certainly not too late to change to the winning side. But you know, you also have the freedom to stay just where you are. That's what it means to be an American. That's the miracle of America. Freedom to believe means the freedom to believe the wrong thing, after all. Just as freedom of speech gives you the right to stay silent.
Neil Gaiman
The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.
Neil Gaiman
It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.
Neil Gaiman
