More quotes by Neil Gaiman
I think radio plays are my favourite medium, as they make the listener work and create and contribute in a way that TV and film can never do, and they have an immediacy that written prose often lacks.
Neil Gaiman
Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Everything.
Neil Gaiman
I'm willing to make a fool out of myself in public. I'm also willing to make those mistakes that you're going to make the first time you go out, so hopefully the next time it will be better.
Neil Gaiman
All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us and we must walk that road to the end.
Neil Gaiman
I was thinking one of the great things about fiction is we, as a race, only get to look out of our own eyes at the world. And fiction is a fantastic way of looking out through somebody else's eyes.
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.
Neil Gaiman
I've learned over the years that everything is more or less the same amount of work, so you may as well set your sights high and try and do something really cool.
Neil Gaiman
You think you're being given all of these things: phones that can communicate with other devices, car service that's better than a taxi, all of these amazing things that are available to you at any time. It isn't until you've swum across the river that you can start to see the negative aspects of it all.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating.
Neil Gaiman
Coraline wondered why so few of the adults she met made any sense.
Neil Gaiman
Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever had one of those days when something just seems to be trying to tell you somebody?
Neil Gaiman
It's still National Library Week. You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow. Sometime this week, anyway. Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source of funding.
Neil Gaiman
I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.
Neil Gaiman
The young woman was crying, in the way that grownups cry, keeping it inside as much as they can, and hating it when it still pushes out at the edges, making them ugly and funny-looking on the way.
Neil Gaiman
If you have something specific and visible to fear, rather than something that could be anything, it is easier.
Neil Gaiman
People populate the darkness with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales.
Neil Gaiman
Freedom of speech gives you the right to stay silent.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes we can choose the paths we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes an old idea gets relegated to the back of the line in the mad delight of a new idea, one you've never had before, and that you write fast in the thrill of the new. No rules. Just stories, and you tell as many of them as you can.
Neil Gaiman
