More quotes by Neil Gaiman
Style is made up of whatever an author can't avoid doing.
Neil Gaiman
She found herself to be quite worried that something would jump out at her, so she began to whistle. She thought it might make it harder for things to jump out at her, if she was whistling.
Neil Gaiman
Because, if one is writing novels today, concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons, for wasted effort.
Neil Gaiman
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.
Neil Gaiman
I remembered something somebody had once said to me. It's okay. Everyday is freshly ground.
Neil Gaiman
Work. Home. The pub. Meeting girls. Living in the city. Life. Is that all there is?
Neil Gaiman
The ties of blood, said Spider, are stronger than water. Water's not strong, objected Fat Charlie.
Neil Gaiman
American Gods was designed to be if not open-ended, at least a trilogy kind of shape, so there's definitely one more book, probably another couple of books there to get written.
Neil Gaiman
Death is the second oldest of the Endless. It's hard not to love her. She loves you, after all.
Neil Gaiman
Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose.
Neil Gaiman
People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.
Neil Gaiman
I really don't know what I love you means. I think it means Don't leave me here alone.
Neil Gaiman
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
Neil Gaiman
Joy and sorrow are like milk and cookies. That's how well they go together.
Neil Gaiman
I don't think you get perfect couples. At best you get two people building something, and working at it, and loving each other, and doing their best to communicate.
Neil Gaiman
Something feels weird, he told Laura. That wasn't the first thing he said to her. The first thing was I love you, because it's a good thing to say if you can mean it, and Shadow did.
Neil Gaiman
You don't get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd.
Neil Gaiman
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.
Neil Gaiman
Be wise, because the world needs more wisdom. And if you cannot be wise, pretend to be someone who is wise, and then just behave like they would.
Neil Gaiman
What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul.
Neil Gaiman
