Eyes as black and as shiny as chips of obsidian stared back into his. They were eyes like black holes, letting nothing out, not even information.
Neil Gaiman
Image
'Doctor Who' was the first mythology that I learned, before ever I ran into Greek or Roman or Egyptian mythologies.
Neil Gaiman
Image
A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Chicago happened slowly, like a migraine.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Books are defensive, not offensive (unless you're the puzzled adult trying to make the kid with the book interact).
Neil Gaiman
Image
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
Image
Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')

Give me boredom. At least I know where I'm going to eat and sleep tonight.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I was bright, and I could use that as a weapon: words can wound, whatever those sticks and stones sayings claim about them never hurting, and I could use them if I had to.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I was always so relieved that anyone wants to publish anything I've written.
Neil Gaiman
Image
People populate the darkness with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Is there any person in the world who does not dream? Who does not contain within them worlds unimagined?
Neil Gaiman
Image
There's definitely a feeling with a short story that it's pure story telling. You're not really worried about theme. You're not going to stay with the characters long enough to live your life with them. And you have different kinds of relationships with them.
Neil Gaiman
Image
My heart… It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me any more. It belongs to you.
Neil Gaiman
Image
It begins, as most things begin, with a song.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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
Image
I don't know much more than I did when I was alive. Most of the stuff I know now that I didn't know then I can't put into words.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Not gay, just never met the right woman.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Bod quite liked crows. He thought they were funny and he liked the way they helped to keep the graveyard tidy.

And life is a good thing for a writer. It's where we get our raw material, for a start. We quite like to stop and watch it.
