More quotes by Neil Gaiman
The future had suddenly become unknowable: anything could happen: the train of my life had jumped the rails and headed off across the fields and coming down the lane with me, then.
Neil Gaiman
I am selfish, private and easily bored. Will this be a problem?
Neil Gaiman
People talk about books that write themselves, and it's a lie. Books don't write themselves. It takes thought and research and backache and notes and more time and more work than you'd believe.
Neil Gaiman
I wanted to write something that would be a comedy in the sense of making people feel happier when they finish it than they did when began it.
Neil Gaiman
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.
Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Neil Gaiman
I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.
Neil Gaiman
I knowed a man in Paphlagonia who'd swallow a live snake every morning, when he got up. He used to say, he was certain of one thing, that nothing worse would happen to him all day. 'Course they made him eat a bowlful of hairy centipedes before they hung him, so maybe that claim was a bit presumptive.
Neil Gaiman
If you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up.
Neil Gaiman
Shadow looked down at the girl on the table. “What happened to her?” he asked. “Poor taste in boyfriends,” said Jacquel. “It’s not always fatal.
Neil Gaiman
I personally have a great deal of respect for readers. I have a great deal of respect for the human race. I think most people can tell the difference between fiction and fact. I think that the action of writing about something does not condone it. The best thing I can ever hope to do is provide good questions, and I think I do that. I hope I do.
Neil Gaiman
Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always impressed by their sheer awesomeness.
Neil Gaiman
Nothing's ever the same, she said. Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.
Neil Gaiman
All your tomorrows start here.
Neil Gaiman
Often you will discover that the harder you work, and the more wisely you work, the luckier you get. But there is luck, and it helps.
