Image
I will be a wise and tolerant monarch, dispencing justice fairly, and only setting nightmares to rip out the winds of the evil and the wicked. Or just anybody that I don't like.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Some hats can only be worn if you're willing to be jaunty, to set them at an angle and to walk beneath them with a spring in your stride as if you're only a step away from dancing. They demand a lot of you.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Books were safer than other people anyway.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The only people I ever get irritated with are the ones who announce, using my Twitter handle, that they are no longer following me and why.

Image
Go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

The best way to show people true things is from a direction that they had not imagined the truth coming.
Neil Gaiman

I suspect there are two kinds of novelists. Those who have a point of view and have something to say and then write a novel in order to say that thing, and those of us who write the book in order to find out what we think about that thing.

It doesn't matter that I can't remember the details any longer: death happened to her. Death happens to all of us.

Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Image
It's a given that we exist in a world where we have to live in continuity every day no one is immune to that, in life or romance novels. By the same token, it's not something I find terribly important.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
Neil Gaiman
Image
When I was 7, my proudest possession would have been my bookshelf - 'cause I'd alphabetized all of the books on my bookshelf.
Neil Gaiman
Image
The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked...that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.
Neil Gaiman
Image
We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I think you're doing better than you were the last time we saw you. You're growing a new heart, for a start.
Neil Gaiman
Image
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.

Libraries really are the gates to the future.

The best thing about doing a signing tour is that numbers become faces. I got to sign books for six or seven thousand people, all of whom were dreadfully nice. Everything else, the interviews, the hotels, the plane travel, the best-seller lists, even the sushi, gets old awfully fast. Well, maybe not the sushi.
