More quotes by Neil Gaiman
The problems with success, frankly, are infinitely preferable to the problems of failure.
Neil Gaiman
The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.
Neil Gaiman
I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.
Neil Gaiman
We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
Neil Gaiman
There's this thing, they have in french: L'espirit d'escalier. The spirit of the stairway. I don't think we have a word for it in English. It means, well, the clever things to say that you only think to yourself when you're on the way out.
Neil Gaiman
There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that, but you are the only you.
Neil Gaiman
It begins, as most things begin, with a song.
Neil Gaiman
Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible.
Neil Gaiman
THE MAGIC AND THE DANGER OF FICTION IS THIS: it allows us to see through other eyes. It takes us to places we have never been, allows us to care about, worry about, laugh with, and cry for people who do not, outside of the story, exist. There are people who think that things that happen in fiction do not really happen. These people are wrong.
Neil Gaiman
On the whole, anything that gets you writing and keeps you writing is a good thing. Anything that stops you writing is a bad thing.
Neil Gaiman
You can't just boss bacteria around like that, said the younger Mrs. Hempstock. They don't like it. Stuff and silliness, said the old lady. You leave wigglers alone and they'll be carrying on like anything. Show them who's boss and they can't do enough for you. You've tasted my cheese.
Neil Gaiman
Because there are mysteries. Because there are things that people are forbidden to speak about. Because there are things they do not remember.
Neil Gaiman
You're sick. Sick and evil and weird.
Neil Gaiman
Most books on witchcraft will tell you that witches work naked. This is because most books on witchcraft were written by men.
Neil Gaiman
Life - and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison - is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.
Neil Gaiman
Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals.
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
I always say that if you're a novelist, the challenge is not writing what you think ought to happen, but trying in some way to write what did happen in a world that doesn't necessarily exist.
Neil Gaiman
Never a possession, always the possessor, with skin as pale as smoke, and eyes tawny and sharp as yellow wine: Desire is everything you have ever wanted. Whoever you are. Whatever you are. Everything.
Neil Gaiman
When you start off, you have to deal with the problems of failure. You need to be thickskinned, to learn that not every project will survive.
Neil Gaiman
