More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Some of the things are the same no matter which world you're in, kid. One of 'em is this: The quickest way out of something is usually straight through it.
Neil Gaiman
Chicago happened slowly, like a migraine. First they were driving through countryside, then, imperceptibly, the occasional town became a low suburban sprawl, and the sprawl became the city.
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
Walk any path in Destiny's garden, and you will be forced to choose, not once but many times.
Neil Gaiman
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
I'm just going to stay here, in the darkness under the arch. I can hear you all out there, trip-trapping, trip-trapping over my bridge. Oh yes, I can hear you. But I'm not coming out.
Neil Gaiman
People who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
Too soon, the sun will rise.
Neil Gaiman
Here you go, she said. I don't need it anymore. I'm very grateful. I think it may have saved my life, saved some other people's death.
Neil Gaiman
We save our lives in such unlikely ways.
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
She had such unusual eyes. They made me think of the seaside, and so I called her Ocean, and could not have told you why.
Neil Gaiman
There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous.
Neil Gaiman
There are stories you build and there are stories you construct then there are the stories that you hack out of rock removing all the things that are not the story.
Neil Gaiman
Nothing's ever the same, she said. Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.
Neil Gaiman
There are people you do not want to upset in the world - the politically disenfranchized who feel they have nothing to lose, those who feel that the time has come for revolution ... then out on the edges beyond any of those are science fiction fans whose favorite show has been canceled in an untimely way.
Neil Gaiman
Coraline shivered. She preferred her other mother to have a location: if she were nowhere, then she could be anywhere. And, after all, it is always easier to be afraid of something you cannot see.
Neil Gaiman
A short story is the ultimate close-up magic trick -- a couple of thousand words to take you around the universe or break your heart.
Neil Gaiman
Because there are mysteries. Because there are things that people are forbidden to speak about. Because there are things they do not remember.
Neil Gaiman
Children, as I have said, use back ways and hidden paths, while adults take roads and official paths.
Neil Gaiman
