Read the books you love, tell people about authors you like, and don’t worry about it.

You are an analog girl, living in a digital world.

It's easier to lie to yourself when you say things out loud.

I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.

Image
I'd love to write some porn, but I don't know if I have the right engines. When I was a young man and I was tempted to write porn, imaginary parents would appear over my shoulder and read what I was writing just about the point that I managed to banish the imaginary parents, real children would lean over my shoulder and read what I was writing.

This is the only country in the world, that worries about what it is. The rest of them know what they are. No one ever needs to go searching for the heart of Norway. Or looks for the soul of Mozambique. They know what they are.

Work. Home. The pub. Meeting girls. Living in the city. Life. Is that all there is?

I toyed briefly with an image someone once mentioned to me, of a village in the shadow of a twin-peaked mountain. In the morning the sun rises. At lunch it sets behind the mountain. In the early afternoon it rises once more. The cocks crow for the second time, and later the sun sets again. No. One peak. Metaphors should not be belaboured.

How old are you? asked Door. Richard was pleased she had asked he would never have dared. As old as my tongue, said Hunter, primly, and a little older than my teeth.

I'm writing. The pages are starting to stack up. My morale is improving the more I feel like a writer.

It is good for children to find themselves facing the elements of a fairy tale - they are well-equipped to deal with these

Parameters are the things you bounce off to create art.

There are little pockets of old time in London, where things and places stay the same, like bubble in amber.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Everything he had ever done that had been better left undone. Every lie he had told — told to himself, or told to others. Every little hurt, and all the great hurts. Each one was pulled out of him, detail by detail, inch by inch. The demon stripped away the cover of forgetfulness, stripped everything down to truth, and it hurt more than anything.

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.

Sometimes I suspect that we build our traps ourselves, then we back into them, pretending amazement the while.

I like 'pencil-necked weasel'. It has 'pencil' in it. Pencils are good things. You can draw or write things with pencils. I think it's what you call someone when you're worried that using a long word like 'intellectual' may have too many syllables. It's not something that people who have serious, important things to say call other people.

You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.
