More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Life and death are different sides of the same coin.
Neil Gaiman
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
Neil Gaiman
There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song.
Neil Gaiman
He had had a severe shock some weeks earlier, when, having narrowly failed to capture a large grey-brown hare for his dinner, it had stopped at the edge of the forest, looked at him with disdain, and said, 'Well, I hope you're proud of yourself, that's all,' and had scampered off into the long grass
Neil Gaiman
He tried to listen to the conversations going on at the table and he found that he could no longer concentrate on what anyone was saying and which was worse that he was not interested in any of what he was able to hear.
Neil Gaiman
It's easier to lie to yourself when you say things out loud.
Neil Gaiman
We build a shell around it, like an oyster dealing with a painful particle of grit, coating it with smooth pearl layers in order to cope. This is how we walk and talk and function , day in, day out. Immune to others’ pain and loss.
Neil Gaiman
I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.
Neil Gaiman
I’m an author. We don’t want to lead. We don’t need to follow. We stay home and make stuff up and write it down and send it out into the world, and get inside people’s heads. Perhaps we change the world and perhaps we don’t. We never know. We just make stuff up.
Neil Gaiman
I was one of those kids who had books on them. Before weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure, I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.
Neil Gaiman
I was a normal child. Which is to say, I was selfish and I was not entirely convinced of the existence of things that were not me, and I was certain, rock-solid, unshakeably certain, that I was the most important thing in creation. There was nothing that was more important to me than I was.
Neil Gaiman
I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.
Neil Gaiman
Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour.
Neil Gaiman
Honestly, if you're given the choice between Armageddon or tea, you don't say what kind of tea?
Neil Gaiman
If you want to imagine the future, imagine a boy and his dog and his friends. And a summer that never ends.
Neil Gaiman
Too much talking these days. Talk talk talk. This country would get along much better if people learned how to suffer in silence.
Neil Gaiman
I've been blogging since February of 2001. When I started blogging, it was a dinosaur blog. It was me and a handful of tyrannosaurs. We'd be writing blog entries like, 'The tyrannosaurus is getting grumpy.'
Neil Gaiman
He left the drapes open, watched the lights of the cars and of the fast food joints through the window glass, comforted to know there was another world out there, one he could walk to anytime he wanted.
Neil Gaiman
People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.
Neil Gaiman
You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business.
Neil Gaiman
