Quote

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.

Fear is contagious. You can catch it.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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
Image
He entertained these thoughts awkwardly, as a man entertains unexpected guests. Then, as he reached his objective, he pushed these thoughts away, as a man apologizes to his guests, and leaves them, muttering something about a prior engagement.
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
Image
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.

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.

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.

I suppose the point you grow up is the point you let the dreams go.
Neil Gaiman

There's a tale in the Caballa that suggests that the Angel of Death is so beautiful that upon seeing it (or him, or her) you fall in love so hard, so fast, that your soul is pulled out through your eyes. I like that story.

To be a good writer... read a lot and write every day.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I move from dreamer to dreamer, from dream to dream, hunting for what I need. Slipping and sliding and flickering through the dreams and the dreamer will wake, and wonder why this dream seemed different, wonder how real their lives can truly be.
Neil Gaiman
Image
My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may have been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him.

Biting's excellent. It's like kissing - only there is a winner.
Neil Gaiman
Image
If there's one thing that a study of history has taught us, it is that things can always get worse.
Neil Gaiman
Image
As far as I'm concerned, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I'm willing to make a fool out of myself in public. I'm also willing to make those mistakes that you're going to make the first time you go out, so hopefully the next time it will be better.
Neil Gaiman
Image
If you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.
Neil Gaiman

You're brave. You are the bravest person I know, and you are my friend. I don't care if you are imaginary.

None of this is truly happening, he said to Shadow. He sounded miserable. It's all in your head. Best not to think of it.
