More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Words can wound, and wounds can heal.
Neil Gaiman
The moonlight was enough. It would do.
Neil Gaiman
People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.
Neil Gaiman
I think hell is something you carry around with you, not somewhere you go.
Neil Gaiman
Now me,” said Mr. Vandemar. “What number am I thinking of?” “I beg your pardon?” “What number am I thinking of?” repeated Mr. Vandemar. “It’s between one and a lot,” he added, helpfully.
Neil Gaiman
I always say that if you're a novelist, the challenge is not writing what you think ought to happen, but trying in some way to write what did happen in a world that doesn't necessarily exist.
Neil Gaiman
He couldn’t see why people made such a fuss about people eating their silly old fruit anyway, but life would be a lot less fun if they didn’t. And there was never an apple, in Adam’s opinion, that wasn’t worth the trouble you got into for eating it.
Neil Gaiman
Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told — told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes I wish that just solving the plot problems was enough. And then elves would go and do all the actual work moving the words around.
Neil Gaiman
THE MAGIC AND THE DANGER OF FICTION IS THIS: it allows us to see through other eyes. It takes us to places we have never been, allows us to care about, worry about, laugh with, and cry for people who do not, outside of the story, exist. There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?
Neil Gaiman
He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement.
Neil Gaiman
Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.
Neil Gaiman
So the day became one of waiting, which was, he knew, a sin: moments were to be experienced waiting was a sin against both the time that was still to come and the moments one was currently disregarding.
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
The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.
Neil Gaiman
He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.
Neil Gaiman
As a teenager I wrote to R.A. Lafferty. And he responded, too, with letters that were like R.A. Lafferty short stories, filled with elliptical answers to straight questions and simple answers to complicated ones.
Neil Gaiman
You could fire a machine gun randomly through the pages of Lord of the Rings and never hit any women.
Neil Gaiman
