More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.
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
I don't necessarily think stories have functions any more than diamonds have functions, or the sky has a function... Stories exist. They keep us sane, I think. We tell each other stories, we believe stories. I love watching the slow rise of the urban legend. They're the stories that we use to explain ourselves to ourselves.
Neil Gaiman
The great thing about Batman and Superman, in truth, is that they are literally transcendent. They are better than most of the stories they are in.
Neil Gaiman
As sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend will always disappoint you in the end.
Neil Gaiman
Joy and sorrow are like milk and cookies. That's how well they go together.
Neil Gaiman
There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
Remember: that giants sleep too soundly that witches are often betrayed by their appetites dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always hearts can be well-hidden, and you can betray them with your tongue. (from Instructions)
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
Neil Gaiman
I have no plans to love you, said Coraline. No matter what. You can't make me love you.
Neil Gaiman
If I come back, it will be a place, but it won't be a home any longer.
Neil Gaiman
All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them.
Neil Gaiman
You'll think this is a bit silly, but I'm a bit--well, I have a thing about birds. What, a phobia? Sort of. Well, that's the common term for an irrational fear of birds. What do they call a rational fear of birds, then?
Neil Gaiman
I remembered something somebody had once said to me. It's okay. Everyday is freshly ground.
Neil Gaiman
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
Neil Gaiman
The only water in the forest is the River.
Neil Gaiman
Information and knowledge: two currencies that have never gone out of style.
Neil Gaiman
Until that moment she had never thought she could do it. Never thought she would be brave enough or scared enough, or desperate enough to dare.
Neil Gaiman
Have you ever had one of those days when something just seems to be trying to tell you somebody?
Neil Gaiman
Stories are made up by people who make them up. If they work, they get retold. There's the magic of it.
Neil Gaiman
