More quotes by Neil Gaiman
For some, it was easier to take the leap from the leafless tree and dance on nothing until dancing was done.
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
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
Neil Gaiman
I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped up in adult bodies, like children's books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.
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
Never use five words if you can get away with one, eh? I've known dead men talk more than you do.
Neil Gaiman
With American Gods I was trying very, very consciously - there was a level at which it was a little like trying to write a novel in French - you know, this novel is to be written in American.
Neil Gaiman
He had had a severe shock some weeks earlier, when, having narrowly failed to capture a large grey-brown hare for his dinner, it had stopped at the edge of the forest, looked at him with disdain, and said, 'Well, I hope you're proud of yourself, that's all,' and had scampered off into the long grass
Neil Gaiman
You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.
Neil Gaiman
As sure as water's wet and days are long and a friend will always disappoint you in the end.
Neil Gaiman
Sometimes big things happen, and they echo. Those echoes crash across worlds. They are the ripples in the fabric of things. Often they manifest as storms. Reality is a fragile thing, after all.
Neil Gaiman
You're sick. Sick and evil and weird.
Neil Gaiman
If you want to call it that. But it is a very specific sort of magic. There's a magic you take from death. Something leaves the world, something else comes into it.
Neil Gaiman
To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.
Neil Gaiman
Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.
Neil Gaiman
Somebody said that writers are like otters... Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do a better trick or a different trick because they'd already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We've done it, so let's do something different.
Neil Gaiman
Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour.
Neil Gaiman
Can you believe it? Fifty miles from McDonald's. I didn't think there was anywhere in the world that was fifty miles from McDonald's.
Neil Gaiman
It was a dream, and in dreams you have no choices: either there are no decisions to be made, or they were made for you long before ever the dream began.
Neil Gaiman
Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible.
