Well-meaning adults can easily destroy a child’s love of reading: stop them reading what they enjoy, or give them worthy-but-dull books that you like, the 21st-century equivalents of Victorian “improving” literature.

People pursue things. As soon as they have them they run away from them.

For love is no part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to Desire, and Desire is always cruel.

I didn't like people rewriting my dialogue. I didn't like the fact that we'd start a comic with the Joker, and by the time we inked it, he would have turned into the Scarecrow.

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

Someone killed my Mother and my Father and my Sister? Yes, someone did. A Man? A Man. Which means, said Bod, you're asking the wrong question. Silas raised an eyebrow. How so? Well, said Bod. If I go outside in the world, the question isn't who will keep me safe from him? No? No. It's who will keep him safe

I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.

Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters.
