More quotes by Neil Gaiman
You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.
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 hope the strong women out there aren't quiet and they don't go away, because when people attack you for speaking, the best way to drive them nuts is to smile and carry on speaking, louder, more wisely, more intensely, more articulately than ever.
Neil Gaiman
Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.
Neil Gaiman
I was not so old that I would deny my own senses.

Neil Gaiman
Truly life is wasted on the living.
Neil Gaiman
Joy and sorrow are like milk and cookies. That's how well they go together.
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
It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Neil Gaiman
Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour.
Neil Gaiman
Coraline wondered why so few of the adults she met made any sense.
Neil Gaiman
I was a reader. I loved reading. Reading things gave me pleasure. I was very good at most subjects in school, not because I had any particular aptitude in them, but because normally on the first day of school they'd hand out schoolbooks, and I'd read them--which would mean that I'd know what was coming up, because I'd read it.
Neil Gaiman
It does not matter where you come from, if you walk toward the truth you will reach it, whatever path you take.
Neil Gaiman
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Neil Gaiman
If you don't know it's impossible it's easier to do.
Neil Gaiman
Talk is free but the wise man chooses when to spend his words.
