More quotes by Neil Gaiman
We do what we do, because of who we are. If we did otherwise, we would not be ourselves.
Neil Gaiman
We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.
Neil Gaiman
If you were close enough to her ruby-red lips you would hear her say, 'I will rise now and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek the one I love.' She is whispering that, and she whispers, 'By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth. My beloved is mine and I am his.
Neil Gaiman
If not for Death, they’d be content to simply exist, but with Death, well, their lives will have meaning — a boundary beyond which the living cannot cross.
Neil Gaiman
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
Neil Gaiman
Fiction allows us to slide into these other heads, these other places, and look out through other eyes. And then in the tale we stop before we die, or we die vicariously and unharmed, and in the world beyond the tale we turn the page or close the book, and we resume our lives.
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
I don't know if proud is the right word, but I am somebody who does not, on the whole, have the highest regard for my own stuff in that when I look all I get to see are the flaws.
Neil Gaiman
Agnes was the worst prophet that's ever existed. Because she was always right. That's why the book never sold.
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
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Neil Gaiman
As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
Neil Gaiman
The boy had the towering arrogance only seen in the greatest of artists and all nine-year-old boys.
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
How can you be happy in this world? You have a hole in your heart. You have a gateway inside you to lands beyond the world you know. They will call you, as you grow.
Neil Gaiman
The best way to show people true things is from a direction that they had not imagined the truth coming.
Neil Gaiman
The world is always ending, for someone.
Neil Gaiman
London grew into something huge and contradictory. It was a good place, and a fine city, but there is a price to be paid for all good places, and a price that all good places have to pay.
Neil Gaiman
Love isn't quite desire... Love is probably a little bit in The Sandman's domain. Love is partly a dream, it's partly to do with desire, and sometimes it's partly to do with death, as well. It's also very often something to do with delirium.
Neil Gaiman
Some of us claim that he was a messiah, and some think that he was just a man with very special powers. But that misses the point. Whatever he was, he changed the world.
Neil Gaiman
