Quote

If I were only allowed to read or enjoy art or listen to music made by people whose opinions and beliefs were the same as mine, I think the world would be a pretty dismal sort of a place.

The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.

The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision

The only thing that kept me going was stories. Stories are hope. They take you out of yourself for a bit, and when you get dropped back in, you're different- you're stronger, you've seen more, you've felt more. Stories are like spiritual currency.

I am selfish, private and easily bored. Will this be a problem?

I wonder if I shall ever see her again, and I realize that I scarcely care. I can feel the sheets beneath me, and the cold air on my chest. I feel fine. I feel absolutely fine. I feel nothing at all.

Never trust a demon. He has a hundred motives for anything he does... ninety-nine of them, at least, are malevolent.
Neil Gaiman

Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.

Writing, and especially writing a novel, where you get to sit in a room by yourself with either a pen and a paper or a computer for a couple of years, is a very solitary occupation. You can read sales figures - a hundred thousand books sold, half a million books sold - but they are just numbers.

It’s an artist’s job to show people the world they live in. We hold up mirrors.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I lay on the bed and lost myself in stories. I liked that. Books were safer than other people anyways.
Neil Gaiman
Image
We do what we do, because of who we are. If we did otherwise, we would not be ourselves.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Richard opened his hand, and the key stared up at him from his palm. By my crooked teeth, asked Richard, remembering, who am I?

For me, closing libraries is the equivalent of eating your seed corn to save a little money.

If it's true that every seven years each cell in your body dies and is replaced, then I have truly inherited my life from a dead man and the misdeeds of those times have been forgiven, and are buried with his bones.

The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.

Amy: This time can we... lose the bunk beds? The Doctor: No Bunk beds are cool, a bed with a ladder, you can't beat that!

Agnes was the worst prophet that's ever existed. Because she was always right. That's why the book never sold.

I must confess, I have always wondered what lay beyond life, my dear. Yeah, everybody wonders. And sooner or later everybody gets to find out.

With 'Stardust', I hope what I was doing is giving 30-year-olds and 40-year-olds and 25-year-olds and 60-year-olds a chance to get the same sense of wonder, the same feeling, the same magic, that they got in reading the classic fairy tales as children.

When the first living thing existed, I was there waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.
