More quotes by Neil Gaiman
If you only write when inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you'll never be a novelist.
Neil Gaiman
The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
Neil Gaiman
It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. I wanted to keep you perfectly safe...But there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that stories are incredibly important, possibly in ways we don't understand, in allowing us to make sense of our lives, in allowing us to escape our lives, in giving us empathy and in creating the world that we live in.
Neil Gaiman
Now me,” said Mr. Vandemar. “What number am I thinking of?” “I beg your pardon?” “What number am I thinking of?” repeated Mr. Vandemar. “It’s between one and a lot,” he added, helpfully.
Neil Gaiman
You don't pass or fail at being a person, dear.
Neil Gaiman
Nothing [the demon] could think up was half as bad as the stuff [people] thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into their design somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.
Neil Gaiman
How do I know you'll keep your word? asked Coraline. I swear it, said the other mother. I swear it on my own mother's grave. Does she have a grave? asked Coraline. Oh yes, said the other mother. I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back.
Neil Gaiman
She was also an adult, and when adults fight children, adults always win.
Neil Gaiman
Ocean is more about ... powerlessness and hopelessness. When we're very small we can't actually do anything - we have no say in what happens, we have no money or resources, we sometimes have no idea what's going on.
Neil Gaiman
The world seemed to shimmer a little at the edges.
Neil Gaiman
It's easier to lie to yourself when you say things out loud.
Neil Gaiman
People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song.
Neil Gaiman
I knowed a man in Paphlagonia who'd swallow a live snake every morning, when he got up. He used to say, he was certain of one thing, that nothing worse would happen to him all day. 'Course they made him eat a bowlful of hairy centipedes before they hung him, so maybe that claim was a bit presumptive.
Neil Gaiman
I took delight in hurling books across the room if I knew I would not be reading the second chapter. Then I’d go and pick them up again, because they are books, after all, and we are not savages.
Neil Gaiman
Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.
Neil Gaiman
If you, as a parent, raise your children well, they won't need you anymore. If you did it properly, they go away.
Neil Gaiman
Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn't.
Neil Gaiman
Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.
Neil Gaiman
Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Neil Gaiman
