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
Whatever it takes to finish things, finish. You will learn more from a glorious failure than you ever will from something you never finished.
Neil Gaiman
Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.
Neil Gaiman
The greatest satisfaction you can obtain from life is your pleasure in producing, in your own individual way, something of value to your fellowmen. That is creative living! For you, life can be a succession of glorious adventures. Or it can be a monotonous bore. Take your choice!
Neil Gaiman
I think I love my dreaming process because one of the things that my dreaming process does is sort out stories for me.
Neil Gaiman
I was not scared of anything, when I read my book.
Neil Gaiman
There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.
Neil Gaiman
Mr. Vandemar showed them his teeth, demonstrating his sunny and delightful disposition. It was unquestionably the most horrible thing Richard had ever seen.
Neil Gaiman
The search for the word gets no easier but nobody else is going to write your novel for you.
Neil Gaiman
Truly life is wasted on the living.
Neil Gaiman
The wise man knows when to keep silent. Only the fool tells all he knows.
Neil Gaiman
I started blogging a decade ago because I like blogging. Writing's a kind of lonely thing to do and I liked the idea of demystifying the process because I loved it as a kid and teenager and as somebody who wanted desperately to write.
Neil Gaiman
In many ways, it was much, much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people, publicists and so forth, implicitly.
Neil Gaiman
I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were.
Neil Gaiman
All around me darkness gathers, Fading is the sun that shone, We must speak of other matters, You can be me when I'm gone Flowers gathered in the morning, Afternoon they blossom on, Still are withered in the evening, You can be me when I'm gone.
Neil Gaiman
You were her way here, and it's a dangerous thing to be a door.
Neil Gaiman
As far as I'm concerned, the world is composed of stories. For architects, the world is composed of buildings, for actors the world is composed of theatres, or whatever... For me, the world is simply composed of stories, when I look, that's what I see.
Neil Gaiman
We owe it to each other to tell stories.
Neil Gaiman
As a journalist, I would talk to writers, directors, creative people, and discover that for an awful lot of them, the moment they became successful, that was all they were allowed to do. So you end up talking to the bestselling science-fiction author who wrote a historical-fiction novel that everybody loved, but no one would publish.
Neil Gaiman
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Neil Gaiman
The best way to show people true things is from a direction that they had not imagined the truth coming.
Neil Gaiman
